Actually Fresh Produce. I am proud to say that abc7s parent company, disney, is committed to fighting hunger. This past year disney donated 1. 5 million to the feeding America Network of food banks, and this means that each of our local food banks in the network received 15,000 from disney and abc7 to continue their important efforts. Right now we have a local story of a young person making a difference. The city of san jose is teaming up with a south bay teenager to fight hunger. Kiran sridhar founded waste no food, a website and an app that lets businesses donate leftover food to charities. The hunger at home has already used the app to help Silicon Valley companies and restaurants donate 10,000 meals that otherwise would go to the landfill. Instead of putting a cheese tray out for 500, we deconstruct and put the different components in smaller platters, and when not used and it cant be consumed by team members or by future guests, then its donated safely. Now, san jose is the first

While he was i think he started four like 4 years old all the way through high school, he was playing virtually every sport you could imagine. His special love was football, and he played football the last four years of his high school time, but. He was just a really fun guy to be around. He was everybody
Todays holiday makes this story especially meaningful, we were there when the family went through what was left of their home most items destroyed but a few survived, the most meaningful ones. We have the story. Cracked cellphone video of a fire yesterday. In taking this debbie couldnt believe her eyes. A fire so hot it spread to the house next door and then burned paint off the side of the house in all from a Battery Charging her grandsons toy electric car. It was almost like the 4th of july how sparks went boom. She told us they were made by florian and removed. Its on the bottom probably totally disintegrated.
