Valkyries Holiday Assist presented by Kaiser Permanente

6661

The Golden State Valkyries have announced “Valkyries Holiday Assist,” presented by Kaiser Permanente. In its first year, this community-focused initiative will actively address food insecurity across the Bay Area through volunteering and delivering essential resources.

Roughly 22% of Californians currently struggle with food insecurity. With the Bay Area experiencing historic levels of hunger this holiday season, the need for food distribution is vital to our community’s health.

Volunteers from the Valkyries and Kaiser Permanente will partner with non-profit organizations across the Bay Area to provide thousands of meals to those in need. The initiative will also include distribution of blankets, beanies, and socks. "Valkyries Holiday Assist," presented by Kaiser Permanente, demonstrates the power of collaboration and connects to a larger shared commitment to supporting Bay Area communities during the holiday season.
