Summary
Two speakers described Torrance City's holiday assistance: 830 food boxes distributed in November, more than 7,500 served annually, and an Angel Drive that adopts roughly 200 children's names across city departments for toy donations.
Speaker 1, an unidentified speaker, said the holiday effort reflects broad community support and provided distribution totals: “Just in the month of November, we distributed 830 food boxes, and, we serve over 7,500 food boxes every year.”
Speaker 2, an unidentified speaker, framed the work as a longstanding city partnership with the Salvation Army: “This is a long standing tradition that the city of Torrance has had with the Salvation Army.” The speaker added that the recent food donation was “one of the largest we've had” and described the city's Angel Drive toy program: “We adopt generally about 200 angels, 200 children's names,” which are distributed to city departments including the police department, fire and public works for fulfillment.
Both speakers thanked residents and city staff for participating across departments. The transcript records no formal motions, votes or policy decisions; the remarks are presentations and expressions of gratitude and program details rather than board actions.
The comments outline the scale of Torrance's seasonal assistance and the continuing role of local departments and volunteers in coordinating food and toy donations.
