A non-profit organization that feeds thousands of people in need on the Central and South Coasts has a new way to pick up and deliver food.
The Whole Foods Market chain donated a refrigerated delivery van to the Santa Barbara-based Unity Shoppe. The van is covered with colorful food images, so you may notice it on the road.
Unity Shoppe Executive Director/CEO Angela Miller-Beven said the van will help pick up food donations and be used for home delivery.
The “Unity Delivers” program gets food to seniors and people with disabilities who are shut-ins.
The Unity Shoppe provides food, clothing, and other essentials to tens of thousands of people in need each year.
