MISsion statement

We are the GirlsBuild team from Garfield High School: Las Sonadoras sin Fronteras (the Dreamers without Borders). This year, our goal is to host a community food drive. According to the University of Southern California, 1 in 4 Angelenos were struck with food insecurity since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The university states that “people who experienced food insecurity — particularly those who were regularly food insecure — were much more likely to experience a decline in the healthiness of their diet.” As the COVID-19 situation worsens, our team aims to host an organic food drive, making fresh fruits, vegetables, and resources available to members of the East LA community. Additionally, we will distribute recipe pamphlets and informational guides to promote wellness and healthy food alternatives.
