Food distribution continues this week to all comers in Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, and Isla Vista as Foodbank of Santa Barbara keeps up with feeding those affected by the Thomas Fire. The fresh produce and other groceries available for free in the afternoon at Foodbank and its partner locations is provided without question to anyone facing hunger in Santa Barbara County, especially as businesses and employment have been hurt by decreased tourism and long-term evacuations.
