“Summit League’s donation to Loaves and Fishes Family Kitchen is helping fund meal distribution to address hunger and provide critical support during emergencies, floods, or earthquakes, ensuring that no one goes without nourishment during times of crisis. Summit League was honored to support Loaves & Fishes in its work to deliver food directly to families, children, and seniors who need it most, right here in Silicon Valley.”
