VENTURA COUNTY, Calif. – The 20,000-acre Mountain Fire has forced hundreds of residents across several cites in Ventura County to evacuate their homes and belongings. In addition to the first responders helping with evacuations and extinguish the fire, Food Share of Ventura County is providing additional support to those in need.

Food Share is a organization committed to fighting the daily crisis of hunger, but they also step up in times of emergency.

In a press release, Food Share announced four food distribution events for Ventura County residents affected by the Mountain fire and Public Safety Power Shutoffs.

“Hunger is an ongoing disaster that we address daily. We are equally prepared to support our neighbors through these emergency events, ensuring they can access essential food resources when needed most," President and CEO of Food Share of Ventura County, Monica White, said in the press release.
