Thousand Oaks, Calif. - Express Employment Professionals, a local job agency in Oxnard, CA, is doing what they can to help those struggling to put food on the table during this difficult time. The coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, has created a food shortage for many families. Prior to COVID-19, 1 in 6 people within Venture County struggled with a lack of food; the pandemic has drastically increased this number. Due to extremely high unemployment rates and unexpected school closures, major pressure has been placed on non-profit food organizations, such as Food Share.
Express Employment Professionals of Oxnard, CA is partnering with Food Share. They have created a customized landing page in an effort to keep track of donations. The major need for the Food Share organization is monetary donations so they meet the increased demand and can continue buying food for those in need. The executives at Food Share have estimated that they will need $2.5 million dollars in donations to keep the service running through June 2020. This also includes the recent Ventura County Tax Dollar Aid.
The relationship between Express Employment Professionals and Food Share has a long history over many years. Express has hosted numerous food drivers which have generated thousands of pounds of non-perishable foods. Express has also held numerous team building exercises sorting food for those in need on-site at Food Share.
