Community Food Bank in Fresno supplies food to thousands of local families each month. The need continues to grow, as people find themselves unemployed or forced to take company furloughs. Drought distributions are going on in communities throughout the area. KSEE 24's Pamela Prado spent the morning live at Community Food Bank talking to C.E.O. Dana Wilkie about the issue.
This week, distributions wll be held in San Joaquin (Tuesday), Coalinga (Friday), and Mendota (Saturday). On Saturday, February 6th, a health fair and food distribution will take place at Vineyards Worship Center on East Manning in Fowler. It's from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

You can take part in the Pound for Pound Challenge! It's a program tied to The Biggest Loser, seen on KSEE 24. For every pound pledged, $ .14 will be donated to Feeding America. The money will be distributed to local community food banks. For more information, click here: Pound for Pound Challenge
