| New Ag Against Hunger Trailer | | |
Thanks to a grant from Walmart with discounts from ThermoKing, Utility Trailer, and Central Coast Sign Factory, we were able to purchase a new 53' trailer early this year! This new trailer will help us continue increasing the amount of pounds we are able to pick up from generous growers, processors and shippers in our tri-county area. This year, we will reach a new record of 200 million pounds of produce since our inception in 1990!
