Gregory Scott, president and CEO of Community Action Partnership Orange County, which runs the program, said it will have a “devastating” impact for the food insecure.
“When the program first started back in March of 2020 they were giving us 120,000 boxes of food,” he said. “By the end of the year that had gone down to 60,000 boxes of food and now that’s going to go away completely, that certainly has a big impact on our ability to serve the 200,000 families that we serve every single month.”
