In recognition of Hunger Action Month, Desert Recreation District team members spent yesterday volunteering at FIND Food Bank, lending a hand to support the important work they do for families throughout the Coachella Valley.

September’s Hunger Action Month is a reminder that each of us can play a part in helping address hunger in our communities. For our team, that meant rolling up our sleeves, working together and giving some of our time to help our neighbors.

Thank you to FIND Food Bank for the work you do every day to fight hunger and strengthen our community. We were proud to be a small part of it.
