The Swinerton Foundation announced a $170,000 commitment on March 26 to support food banks on the front lines responding to COVID-19. The money will be distributed in a series of $10,000 grants to community food banks in 17 cities across the United States.
The organizations, though different, share an overarching goal: providing access to food for undeserved populations – a mission taking on even greater urgency in response to the novel coronavirus.

- Feeding San Diego,
- Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services,
- Central Texas Food Bank,
- North Texas Food Bank,
