The Recess Room Donates 300 Meals for Homebound Seniors and Unemployed Community Members
05.01.20
Viet-CARE, Moving Forward Psychological Institute (MFPI), and The Recess Room team up this Sunday, May 3 from noon to 3 p.m. to provide and distribute free hot meals to more than 300 isolated and homebound seniors, individuals unemployed due to COVID-19, and families in need. The event coincides with the start of Mental Health Awareness Month.
Viet-CARE is a 100% volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of people suffering with mental illness, and this event is a part of a series of recent donations that the organization has made in support of communities.
MPFI is a results-focused organization developed to address the current and increasing mental health crisis in the workplace, schools, homes, and communities.
Fountain Valley-based restaurant, The Recess Room, is donating all meals. Although these are uncertain times, supporting the local community is a cornerstone to their business and they are dedicated to giving back to the community they serve. In addition to this Sunday’s donation, they have been regularly providing free meals as part of their “Free Food Fridays” events for senior citizens and kids, which will continue as long as it is feasible for the restaurant’s owners.
The Recess Room is at 18380 Brookhurst St. in Fountain Valley.

Giving and Getting Help at Vineyard Anaheim Church
05.01.20
If you or anyone you know is struggling during this time, there are several ways the Vineyard Anaheim Church can make help available. They have the largest private food distribution in the county, and now it’s a seven-day operation with the growing need.
They don't give out meals, their uniqueness is the quantity and quality of foods. They give out a week's worth of groceries from meats, chicken, fish, ham, milk, eggs, bread, produce, fruit, can goods, and other resources. Most people leave with $150-200 worth of food. That’s a big saving for people at this time!
Pantry items are available at their site on Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. And, they’ve set up mobile pantry off sites (East, Central and West Anaheim locations, and Fullerton).
If you have no support around you and are under quarantine, "most at risk," or without transportation, you can fill out the form here and they will contact you to arrange a grocery delivery.

They’ve also partnered with Anaheim School District, Placentia, Yorba Linda School District, and Magnolia District as grocery providers for the needy. They are also doing food deliveries for the elderly in Anaheim.
To find out more, or to donate items to their pantry you can visit vineyardanaheim.com.
They also offer ways to get involved at vineyardanaheim.
VINEYARD ANAHEIM is at 5340 E La Palma Ave in Anaheim. hello@vineyardanaheim.com. 714.777.4777.
