Honoring the Food Bank of El Dorado County

On February 9th, 2021, the Board of Supervisors Chair signed a Proclamation recognizing the Food Bank of El Dorado County for their many contributions and ongoing operations. The Food Bank of El Dorado County began ramping up food distribution at the start of the county closures due to the pandemic. The food went to hundreds of needy families across El Dorado County. The positive impact created by the Food Bank of El Dorado County is immeasurable.

 

The Food Bank of El Dorado County depends on volunteers as a resource. We encourage all qualified individuals to reach out to the Food Bank of El Dorado County as a volunteer. Please visit the Food Bank of El Dorado County website for more information.

Meeting with Assemblyman Kevin Kiley

George met with Assemblyman Kevin Kiley recently, to discuss issues related to El Dorado County. A few topics discussed were state-level COVID Policy and wildfire related issues. Two key topics related to wildfire are the cost of fire insurance, and logging as fire prevention. George has been concerned about the forest overgrowth as a fire danger, and equally concerned about fire insurance as an ever growing cost to residents. By meeting with other public officials, George is bringing these issues some much needed attention.
