Bagging onions today for the Alameda County Community Food Bank @accfb.bsky.social ❤️

Dozens of East Bay residents, including my office, volunteered at the @accfb.bsky.social today. I am inspired to see so many people step up and give their time to support those in need. This is what community looks like.
