Westside nonprofit begins food aid, runs out of groceries

Danielle Mackey, a director of the Westside Brighter Vision Foundation, said her group ran out of groceries Thursday when the nonprofit launched an emergency food aid program.

"People are just losing jobs," Mackey said. "These are intact families that are out of food by the end of the month or middle of the month.:

Mackey said the food program was started in cooperation with First 5 San Bernardino. The nonprofit plans to distribute food - and teach a money management course - on future Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Westside Brighter Vision Foundation is at 409 West 16th St. Mackey said the next food distribution is scheduled to take place from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.
