More than 750 Yolo County families received holiday meals, children’s jackets, blankets, socks and more thanks to the Community Giveaway Day that took place in West Sacramento on Saturday.
The 15th annual event, hosted by the Yolo County Children’s Alliance in partnership with the Yolo Food Bank and Mercy Coalition, served families from West Sacramento and Clarksburg.
But this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, families didn’t fill an auditorium to select items; instead, social distancing requirements led to a drive-in event, where volunteers filled the cars of participating families.
“We feel extremely fortunate that we were able to continue this event, especially during these trying times,” said Katie Villegas, executive director of the children’s alliance.
