On any given day, one will find lots of volunteers working hard to pack food and fresh vegetables, such as potatoes, apples and onions, at the Alameda County Community Food Bank.
"I was a regular volunteer before the pandemic and I am coming back, trying to do that more regularly," Rome told KPIX 5."I like to get us out volunteering at least once during the holiday season""They came with their 5th grade class, and you can also bring five kids per one adult, so we had come that way on our own just as a family," Rome said.
"A group of parents proposed that the 5th grade legacy project be a partnership with Alameda county community food bank for the 5th graders to learn about food insecurity and the food bank," Rome said."Seventy-five kids and about 25 adults over two days and we bagged about 30,000 pounds of food. And then we continued it for the next three years, our last one was January 2020, so we got one in right before the lockdown," Rome recalled.
The 5th grade legacy project at Edison Elementary still partners up with the food bank. Meanwhile, Rome and her family continue to serve their community.In:
