Bread, milk, fruit, veggies, beans, cereal…some of the items that may make their way to our grocery lists. For most, selecting these items is fairly accessible. Sacramento County provides many choices for shoppers to gather these items with a variety of stores to shop at, brands to purchase and local farms supplying fresh produce; however, many families still have food insecurities. In Sacramento County, 15.6% (230,210) of residents are food insecure, which is four percent higher than California as a whole.

Rodney was leading a team of students from Georgia Tech. They’re spending their spring break installing the Flood’s panels then touring the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden.
