On April 22, 2020, Supervisor Don Wagner presented the Marconi Automotive Museum & Foundation for Kids a Certificate of Recognition for COVID-19 Food Efforts.
The award reads, ‘With the utmost gratitude, I would like to thank you for your selfless humanitarian efforts. Your production and donation of over 9,000 meals for needy community members is truly appreciated.”

- OCC Food Recovery accepts donated food and re-purposes it into healthy meals for donation.
- Organizations benefited so far include: Thomas House Shelter, Working Wardrobes, Orangewood Foundation, OC Food Bank, Unidos South OC, assisted living homes, individual Orange County families, and more!
