Tim Hawkins, CEO of the Community Action Agency of Butte County, used his public-comment slot to announce a corporate donation to local food assistance efforts. "PG and E recently made a donation to our North State Food Bank to the tune of $65,240," Hawkins told the council, and said the funds will help provide food to individuals, seniors, veterans and families struggling to make ends meet.
Hawkins acknowledged the community's painful history with PG&E, including the impacts of fires and higher energy costs, but said the gift would be used immediately for people facing food insecurity. "This contribution will help us respond to those needs immediately and efficiently," he said. Council members thanked Hawkins and the Community Action Agency for coordinating distribution and recognized the donation as a prompt community benefit.
Council members left no formal action tied to the announcement; Hawkins' remarks were received as information and the council noted the ongoing community support role of the North State Food Bank.
