Through the support and generosity of our community and incredible events like Taste!, the Coalition served more than 250,000 meals last year to those in need, many of whom are children.
When four-year-old Keke's family lived out of their car, they slept in an empty parking lot and struggled to scrape together enough money for food. Her mom Ahn said, "There were times when we waited outside the grocery store, asking people to buy us food. I think they would see the expression on my face. They would see how tired I was."
At the Coalition, Keke and her family never had to worry where their next meal was coming from. Instead, they were able to focus on securing housing and planning for the future. As Ahn said, "Our family is going to continue to move forward and count our blessings."
