The partnership with the Fresno Unified School District and the Central California Food Bank is making meals distributions like this nearly every day of the week.
Fresno State is also helping out - sending several student volunteers to each event.
When boxes are left over, they re taken to families in Mendota, Five Points, Madera, Firebaugh and Easton. We don t ask for anything, we don t care if they show up wherever we are. We give them food without asking any kind of questions, says Jugo Gomez with Every Neighborhood Partnership.

One year ago, Journee Bradford launched a petition drive urging Whittier College, the school she attended, to observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day. That led to other demands for more diverse faculty and improving enrollment and retention for the few Black students on campus.
Because of Bradford’s initiative, despite attending classes virtually because of the coronavirus pandemic, Whittie’s students will join millions to celebrate MLK Day on Monday and Cesar Chavez Day on March 31 for the first time in school history. Bradford said students are organizing a Black History Jeopardy over Instagram Live with giftcards to winners.
And she’s done so much more.
