LOMPOC, Calif. - Nurses in Lompoc donated $3,000 on Wednesday to the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County in recognition of National Nurses Day.

The donation came from Lompoc Valley Medical Center, the Comprehensive Care Center, and all of Lompoc Health.

Nurses say they wanted to recognize the support they've received during the COVID-19 pandemic from the community in the form of Personal Protective Equipment, signs in yards, produce, food, wine, letters and more.

“We have such an amazing and compassionate community – unlike any other that we’ve been a part of,” said Chief Nursing Officer Yvette Cope. “Our nurses are proud and honored to give this donation to feed so many.”

The Foodbank has provided community members more than 2.3 million pounds of groceries and fresh produce since March 9, twice as much food as the same period in 2019.
