Reductions in federal and state funding has impacted the Imperial Valley Food Bank.

While more and more families are needing the help of the local non-profit it has become more difficult for the Food bank to meet the needs of the community. This means fewer food deliveries and limited variety with more families needing support. To help out, Gafcon and Cambria Hotel will host a Night of Giving on Wednesday, June 18, 2025. The community get together at the Cambria Hotel in Imperial starting at 5:30 p.m. A donation of $100.00 or more grants entry to the event. All proceeds will go directly to the families in our community that need help.

According to the Food Bank, the reductions in state and federal grants will mean the loss of 1.4 million pounds of food, valued at more than $2.5 million. Any donation is appreciated.
