The World Harvest Food Bank on Venice has opened its doors to aid members of the Screen Actors Guild and the Writer's Guild of America , who must show their union cards to receive a bag of groceries, including fresh produce.
"We’re uninsured, we are food insecure and something that I’m seeing in here is folks who are in tears because they’re literally not sure how they’re gonna put together a living," she added. Wong wanted to find ways to help her fellow union members, and that meant reaching out to the founder of the food bank, Glen Curado.People take groceries as World Harvest Food Bank founder, Glen Curado extends free groceries to Hollywood strikers, in Los Angeles, California, U.S., July 26, 2023.

"When I made this offer to SAG and WGA, it just really really floored me because people were coming in here and they didn't have money, like they're losing their houses and cars," Curado said.
