GOLETA, Calif. - The Goleta Union School District is providing families with free food throughout the summer months this year through the USDA s summer food service program.
Each week on Wednesdays, volunteers bring organic farm boxes to a long line of cars.
The school district partnered with Farm Cart Organics to fill these boxes with fresh and seasonal produce as well as bread and eggs.
On average, the district is helping feed over 600 families. Anyone with children under the age of 18 is eligible for the free groceries. As our families recover from the pandemic, I really believe this program is fighting food inequities and fighting food injustice,” said Kim Leung, GUSD Director of Food Services.

“Ensure everyone is cared for. Get to know neighbors and be a lifeline.” Our neighborhood’s group emails were essential in keeping us all safe and accounted for in the Tea and Jesusita fires. Now we’ve reactivated to support our neighbors who are isolated or working in health care.
“Donate surplus food. Encourage local restaurants and grocery stores to donate their excess to help people in need.” A corollary is the ugly food movement, encouraging us to prefer freshness and organic to perfectly-shaped food.
“Switch to an affordable electric vehicle. Kick the gasoline habit there’s an EV for every budget and lifestyle with options starting as low as $5,000.” You can get a double-whammy with this one when combined with #4 Go Solar. Then you’ll have a solar-powered car, like our daughter.
