I don t see the money : Silicon Valley residents struggle as tech companies flourish Cyrus Farivar © Provided by NBC News EAST PALO ALTO, Calif. On a bright but brisk Saturday morning in December, less than 2 miles from Facebook s Frank Gehry-designed campus, a steady stream of Toyotas, Hondas and minivans lined up at a weekly food distribution site at Cesar Chavez Ravenswood Middle School. Each vehicle idled on the blacktop playground for about 10 minutes as Laura Haggins, 36, an East Palo Alto native dressed casually in sweats, strolled about, getting their packages ready. She made sure that her volunteers gave each vehicle what the group defined as a week s worth of food: a whole frozen chicken; a box of nonperishable goods, including rice; a bag of dry snacks, like cereal; and a so-called Trump box from the Agriculture Department. This week, the box contained a dozen potatoes, cheese, milk, yogurt and celery.
