“We are thrilled to receive this very generous award from such a prestigious Southern California organization,” said Henricks. “This contribution will be used to help us continue our work of providing our nutritious meal delivery service and onsite food pantry to over 1,000 unduplicated men, women and children annually in 14 central San Diego neighborhoods.”
