Food distribution
Two Alameda County Community Food Bank distribution sites are now available in Pleasanton on Tuesdays and Thursdays for Tri-Valley residents in need: 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Muslim Community Center East Bay (5724 W. Las Positas Blvd., No. 300) and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Alameda County Fairgrounds (4501 Pleasanton Ave., Gate 8).
Officials advise participants at the drive-thru sites to keep their car windows up, follow the cones, answer the intake questions and open their car trunk so food can be placed in their vehicle contact-free.
