Share and Care

Community relief donations in Imperial County, California are critically important due to the region’s high poverty rates, extreme climate conditions, and limited access to essential resources.

  • Economic hardship: Imperial County consistently ranks among the counties with the highest unemployment and poverty rates in California. Many families, seniors, and farmworkers struggle to afford basic necessities, making donated food and clothing vital for day-to-day survival.
  • Extreme weather: The county experiences intense heat in summer and occasional cold snaps in winter, which makes access to proper clothing—such as breathable fabrics for heat and warm layers for cool nights—essential for health and comfort.
  • Food insecurity: Despite being an agricultural hub, many residents face food insecurity due to low wages, high food costs, and limited grocery access in rural areas. Food drives help bridge that gap, ensuring families, children, and the elderly have nutritious meals.

CCV’s “Share and Care” campaign strengthens social support networks and promotes solidarity and dignity among residents, particularly during emergencies, seasonal hardships, or economic downturns.
