Nonprofits in the Inland Empire Come Together for the 11th Year for Navidad En El Barrio Food Drive
Another Year of Helping the Community during the Holiday Season
San Bernardino, CA – The Inland Empire Community Collaborative (IECC) is pleased to announce that we are preparing for our 11th Annual Holiday Food Drive. Our mission to support families in need during the festive season continues. This year, IECC will once again partner with local nonprofits to provide essential meals to the community, with the generous support of Navidad En El Barrio, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit dedicated to gathering food donations from major companies to create holiday food baskets.
As the Inland Empire faces unprecedented challenges with unemployment and food insecurity, IECC’s efforts are more crucial than ever. Many community members, particularly people of color and marginalized individuals, are struggling to make ends meet. In response, IECC and its coalition of volunteers will come together to assemble 500 food baskets, maintaining their commitment to helping the community during the holidays.
Over the past 11 years, IECC has raised over $54,640, assembled nearly 11,177 baskets, and served more than 44,700 people in the region. This ongoing commitment has brought hope and joy to countless families, making the holiday season a little brighter for those in need.
Join us in supporting this vital cause! Your donations can help us continue to provide meals and bring joy to families in need. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a significant difference. Visit bit.ly/neeb to feed a family for only $5 a basket.
