More than a dozen employees from NBC 7 News came into our Hand Up Youth Food Pantry last week to volunteer. It was so neat watching them stack, lift, sort, and create food bags for San Diego’s hungry. With so many people struggling these days, it’s such a great thing to see people come together to make a difference during these tough times.

The employees held a food drive at their office, donating nearly 800 pounds of food to Jewish Family Service. After the drive, they decided to experience the food pantry first hand. Employees including anchors Catherine Garcia and Marianne Kushi, worked tirelessly for a few hours, sorting the 800 pounds of food they had donated and creating 300 bags of food to hand out to clients.

Thank you NBC for all of your help! You truly made a difference.
