All donations will go to the food bank network in the state where the purchases were made. The two previous editions raised almost US$250,000 in financial and in-kind contributions. In California, nearly nine million people have difficulty accessing adequate food.<\/p>\n<p>Riviana Foods\u2019 partners in this initiative are California Food Banks in California and Food Lifeline in Washington, a Seattle-based organisation working in the west of the state, where one in eight people and one in five children experience food insecurity.
