'Come along with AHF\'s Nancy Sasaki and Sylvia Barron as they present a $10,000 Mission Support Grant to Sara Griffen, Executive Director of the Imperial Valley Food Bank. Since 1991, the Imperial Valley Food Bank has offered food to local families in need. From their humble beginning in a garage in 1991 to our warehouses and trucks in El Centro today, they have steadily increased capacity to meet the needs of the community. Since 2008, demand for emergency food assistance in the Imperial Valley tripled, and IVFB currently serves over 20,000 residents per month. The food insecurity rate in the Imperial Valley is almost 28% and the childhood food insecurity rate is almost 44%. IVFB is dedicated to it\'s mission, \"Fighting Hunger -- bringing Health and Hope to the Imperial Valley\" which they work towards through several mutually-reinforcing programs.
