La Cañada Flintridge Calif. – Since 2006, the Allen Lund Company has participated in Navidad en el Barrio. Over 75,000 people are served annually from the efforts of Navidad, which was established over 30 years ago. "It's so wonderful to be able to provide fresh produce and meals to these families during the Christmas season," said Nora Trueblood, Director or Marketing at the Allen Lund Company. "The shippers and carriers we work with year round are so generous," Trueblood stated.
Navidad accepts and utilizes donations to assemble food baskets containing chicken, cheese, and various produce items for a healthy holiday meal. ALC provides logistics support as well as produce donated by customers.
ALC has started the process of organizing donations of perishable products or food items from growers/shippers for the annual holiday food baskets.
ALC is reaching out to shippers in the western U.S. that often ship items which could be used to complete a meal for these families' Christmas dinner. The logistics and transportation of the donations during the week of December 7th, 2015 will be provided by the Allen Lund Company. Perishables are delivered via ALC to a warehouse location in Los Angeles and then delivered to agencies throughout Southern California for distribution to families.
