Sport & Spine Therapy of Marin Participates in Food Drive

Sport & Spine Therapy of Marin is participating in the Food: The Perfect Gift drive through Dec. 15 to raise funds and food for the Marin Food Bank. The effort is to help thousands in San Francisco and Marin who are at risk of going hungry this holiday season.

With your help, the Marin Food Bank will distribute food for holiday meals to more than 3,000 Marin households during the holidays. The Marin Food Bank supplies food to local nonprofit organizations that serve thousands of families, seniors, children and individuals. Here are two shocking facts about hunger in Marin:

* The majority of people receiving food assistance are not homeless. More than 60 percent of the clients who rely on the Food Bank live in homes with at least one working adult. They are working poor families and senior citizens whose incomes cannot stretch to pay basic living expenses and buy food.

* Children in our city are particularly at risk — one in five children in Marin is not getting enough food to eat.

Our goal is to raise 100 pounds of food and $1,000.

This is an excellent chance to make a difference in our community and I encourage you to be part of this important effort.

Here are ways to help!

* Donate funds by clicking here. With every dollar donated,  the Food Bank can distribute $6 worth of food to those in need.
