Behring Foundation board member and longtime Contra Costa County resident Don Williams came up with the idea. Williams will match, dollar-for-dollar, every donation up to $500,000. If the match is met, the $1 million in funds will provide 2 million nutritious meals for the community.“The impact of the pandemic is not over. Even if they’re back employed, there are a lot of people who have fallen behind on their bills, behind on their rent and having trouble getting back to square one, let alone moving forward,” said Joel Sjostrom, president & CEO of the Food Bank of Contra Costa & Solano.
The food bank itself is also pinched by higher food and fuel costs. It relies on several 18-wheelers to distribute food to its partners, schools and pantries.
