When most people think of Southern California, they think Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, Hollywood glamor, fabulous homes and lifestyles.
But there is another side to the area that is more bleak, according to KABC.
More children and families are at risk of going hungry in Los Angeles County than in any other county in the nation. One out of every six people in Southern California experiences hunger, especially during the summer.
So KABC, the ABC-owned affiliate in Los Angeles, and its sponsors, raised a record 5,619,534 pounds of food for Southern California food banks during its 5th Annual Feed SoCal Food Drive.
KABC’s partners include Albertsons, Vons, Pavilions, Subaru, ESPN LA 710, Mathis Brothers Furniture, and Ontario Auto Center.
Thanks to the generosity of Southern Californians, this amounts to 4,682,945 meals to feed Southern California this summer.
“This kind of work is more important than ever,” said Cheryl Fair, KABC’s general manager, “and we are extremely grateful to our viewers for their generosity.”
