White Pony Express, a nonprofit feeding over 130,000 people annually in Contra Costa County, suffers from a recent theft of a vital delivery van and federal funding cuts. The stolen van, valued at $85,000, is essential for transporting surplus food, with the organization typically distributing 12,000 pounds daily. Additionally, they report a loss of one-third of their funding due to budget cuts. CEO Eve Birge emphasizes the urgent need for community donations, seeking to raise up to $400,000 to sustain operations. The organization is reaching out for public support once again.
"We really need to raise between $350,000 to $400,000. We need donations today like we've never had."
"This is our fleet vehicle which is missing... You'll notice a person walking right next to our vehicle."
