Volunteers will gather at the McDonalds in the area and travel by car from encampment to encampment to share hot meals and distribute clothing to unhoused neighbors in Sacramento. Carpooling is encouraged to help the group move efficiently between stops. The organizers welcome donations of clothing, with a particular need for men’s items and warm layers as temperatures cool, along with food and cases of water. A small team will provide prepared food on site and requests additional support from those able to contribute supplies. RSVP is requested by the organizers. This effort centers on dignity, compassion, and practical support for people who have been displaced and may not have a network to rely on, with the goal of leaving everyone met feeling a little more cared for.

Fresh, locally grown produce is rolling into North Sacramento at the Mobile Farmers Market, which appears on the first and third Friday of each month. Sponsored by Councilmember Roger Dickinson in collaboration with the Center for Land-Based Learning and Sierra Service Project, this market on wheels makes fruits and vegetables affordable and convenient while creating direct connections between shoppers and the farmers who grow their food. It reduces barriers to access by accepting SNAP/EBT and providing a 50 percent discount through Market Match. Most items come from nearby small farms, with the majority sourced within 25 miles and all within 100 miles. Offerings highlight culturally meaningful crops that can be hard to find in conventional stores, and farmers receive fair payment. The program also serves ethnically diverse, low-income neighborhoods in Yolo County identified as food insecure by the USDA, with promotional materials available in Russian, Farsi, and Spanish. Its focus is a healthier, more equitable and resilient local food system built through community involvement and support for beginning and small-scale growers.
