June Newsletter for Western Eagle Foundation

The nation’s first Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in the state of Washington. However, it was not until 1972—58 years after President Woodrow Wilson made Mother’s Day official—that the day honoring fathers became a nationwide holiday in the United States. Father’s Day 2023 will occur on Sunday, June 18.

Western Eagle Foundation has a couple of fathers that we celebrate, from founding father Robert Sieja to Todd Sieja that carries on the purposeful work today.

Most importantly are the fathers that work at Western Eagle and the many Dads and Grandpa’s that shop here or pick up food boxes to help feed their families, their neighbors, Veterans, seniors and others needing help with food. Western Eagle thanks all Dads and Grandpa’s for always being there to lead and care for their families and communities.

Western Eagle is a Community Food Bank, feeding more than 350,000 living in Riverside County. Every Thursday nonprofit partners pick-up pallets of food and deliver it to families living in remote and outlying areas of Southern California.

Western Eagle offers Customized Food Boxes, available seven days a week to the public, that include a box of staples and your pick of fruits, vegetables, and bread.

Western Eagle has an “Emergency Food” program, containing staples, offered twice this month, on Friday June 9th and 23rd from 10:00am to 1pm. Self-certification forms are required.

Western Eagle is a Discount Food and Home Goods Store, full of low-priced foods, home essentials, toys, furniture, clothing, linens, kitchen and bath supplies, cleaning supplies, frozen food, cosmetics, school supplies, and other items to help stretch your family's budget.
