Updates on City of San José Services and/or Operations 
   

• Supporting the Food Delivery System: The City has taken the lead in setting up a countywide food distribution system with an initial focus on the most vulnerable populations, seniors (60 years and older) and those with medical conditions. The City is working to keep our non-profit food distribution infrastructure supported and strong. To this end, Second Harvest Food Bank of Silicon Valley requested and is receiving assistance from the California National Guard. As the COVID-19 crisis continues, Second Harvest is experiencing a significant increase in calls for food assistance. Calls have increased from an average of 200 to more than 1,000 per day, and all other food distributors are seeing an increase in clients as well. The CA National Guard is helping Second Harvest prepare food quickly and safely for the most vulnerable people in our communities. Volunteers are still needed; visit shfb.org to sign up or donate funds or via the Silicon Valley Strong Initiative, www.siliconvalleystrong.org. Anyone in need of food should call Second Harvest's Food Connection Hotline at 1-800-984-3663.
