Food Lifeline

When we break bread together, there’s plenty to go around. ☀️

This week’s cartoon reminds us of the power of community, sharing, and solidarity. Together, we can create a world where no one goes hungry. Let’s keep building a future rooted in equity and abundance for all.

Conversations on the Dock
Featuring Jeff Thungc, Iu-Mein American Association

In our conversation, Jeff Thungc reminds addressing hunger is about more than distributing food—it’s about building a network of organizations that can meet community needs together. Jeff shares how local organizations pool resources, coordinate food access, and prioritize culturally relevant foods that help families feel seen, supported, and connected.

"We’re the center of a consortium...pretty much a collective of organizations that are coming together to support each other." - Jeff Thungc

We love our volunteers—our work wouldn’t be possible without their incredible dedication.

Today, we’re spotlighting Baskar Kesavulu. For more than a decade, Baskar has made service a way of life, bringing together families, youth, coworkers, and community groups to support Food Lifeline. In 2012, he began leading a youth group from a local chapter of the Sri Sathya Sai International Organization to volunteer one Saturday each month—helping young people experience the power of compassion and giving back firsthand. What started with 12 participants has grown into a thriving group of 68.

Baskar believes generosity is contagious—that when we serve, we inspire others to join in, creating a powerful ripple effect of community care.
