More than 1,000 Orange County residents gathered in Irvine this spring to support the fight against food insecurity during the Second Harvest Food Bank’s third annual Walk to Feed OC.
Held at Tanaka Farms, the walk raised $222,834 – enough to provide 11 truckloads of milk to local families, event organizers said. Participants followed a 1.5-mile route of scenic paths lined with strawberries.
Second Harvest serves an average of 442,000 community members each month, and nearly 60,000 pounds of produce is harvested each week at its farm in Irvine.
