The Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano Counties received a donation of 4,000 meals from The East Bay Chapter of the Financial Planning Association (FPA).
The Third Annual East Bay FPA Golf Tournament and Fund Raiser allowed the nonprofit organization to make donations to three local charities that help those affected by inadequate financial resources.
“As an organization comprised of financial planning experts and financial service professionals, we are intimately aware of the challenges faced by individuals and families with inadequate resources. We feel it is our obligation to do what we can both monetarily and with our time to help the less fortunate. I feel so privileged to be associated with such a caring group,” says President-elect and event chair, Brian Gemmer.
