The Andrew and Phyllis D’Arrigo Charitable Foundation, Salinas, Calif., is donating to Monterey County non-profit organizations as residents comply with a shelter-in-place order in the county.
During a special meeting convened because of the COVID-19 crisis, foundation board members unanimously agreed to donate $50,000 to the Food Bank of Monterey County and $25,000 each to the Meals on Wheels of the Salinas Valley and Monterey Peninsula, according to a news release.
“This national crisis is unprecedented and has hit close to home for all of us,” John Culligan, board treasurer, said in a news release. “Making a positive impact on the Food Bank for Monterey County, Meals on Wheels of the Salinas Valley and of the Monterey Peninsula is exactly what Andy and Phyllis wanted when establishing their foundation.”
