This Outreach Report for Diamond Bar offers a comprehensive overview of Abound Food
Care’s outreach initiatives, highlighting our successes, challenges, and impact in implementing
a fully compliant SB1383 program as well as an overall successful edible food recovery
program. The report details the outreach efforts, not only significant changes and
organizational priorities but also providing specific monthly impact data. It encompasses
compliance statuses, impact metrics, and the evolving landscape of food recovery affecting
the City of Diamond Bar.

in place with the required documents.
Our outreach efforts included twenty-six touch points with Tier 1 generators. Abound Food

encouraging participation and compliance with SB1383.

California Food Banks Brace for Funding Cuts
California food banks are facing a crisis as both federal and state funding are slashed amid
continued high demand for food assistance, which remains well above pre-pandemic levels.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently froze hundreds of millions of dollars in federal
funds, halting 330 truckloads of food destined for food banks statewide, including 90 for
Los Angeles and 11 for Sacramento. This comes on top of the cancellation of a Biden-era
grant program that supported food banks and local farmers, and as Congress considers
cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which provides about $1
billion monthly to low-income Californians. At the state level, Governor Newsom’s proposed
budget would reduce annual CalFood funding from $60 million to $8 million, further
straining the system.
These funding cuts threaten to force food banks to reduce the amount of food they can
distribute or rely more heavily on private donations, even as inflation and economic
pressures keep demand high. The Sacramento Food Bank, for example, now serves 310,000
people monthly—more than double its pre-pandemic clientele—and relies on these federal
and state funds for a significant portion of its $3.5 million annual food budget. The ripple
effects extend to local farmers, who have invested in expanded production based on
expected food bank demand, and now face uncertainty. State lawmakers are under
pressure to preserve food assistance funding, but must balance it against other priorities as
California grapples with a $322 billion budget and uncertainty over whether it can offset lost
federal support.
