Rep. Mike Thompson Brings 'Feds Feed Families' Food Drive to North Coast

Congressman Mike Thompson (D-CA) today announced that his district offices in Eureka and Woodland will participate in the third annual “Feds Feed Families” food drive to benefit local food banks. Food banks are most in need of donations during the summer months, when other donations are traditionally lower. Local communities may drop-off their food and other non-perishable goods donations at any of the Congressman's district offices through August 31.

“Local food banks continue to face severe shortages of non-perishable goods even while our economy continues to recover,” said Rep. Thompson. “This food drive will help ensure families in our community never have to go hungry.”

North Coast residents who are interested in participating in the Feds feed Families food drive may drop-off their food and non-perishable goods donations at their nearest district office:

Humboldt District Office
317 3rd Street, Suite 1
Eureka, CA 95501

Yolo District Office
712 Main Street, Suite 101
Woodland, CA 95695

Feds Feed Families is a government-wide effort led by the Chief Human Capital Officers Council, in partnership with the Office of Personnel Management, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Last year, Feds Feed Families raised 1.7 million pounds of food during the summer, shattering the program's original 1.2 million pound goal.
