ALAMEDA, Calif. - The California baseball program made its annual trip to the Alameda County Community Food Bank on Monday afternoon to volunteer their time to help with the Thanksgiving holiday rush. Members of the team, head coach David Esquer and members of the support staff spent over three hours sorting and bagging fresh produce that will be distributed to less fortunate families this holiday season.
Over the course of the day, members of the Golden Bears program sorted and bagged nearly 14,000 pounds of fresh produce, including 11,781 pounds of apples. That amount of food translates into nearly 11,000 meals that will be provided to Alameda County residents in the coming weeks.
