Some who visit the San Joaquin County Family Justice Center come with only the clothes on their back.

Their trauma is so recent, they are still in shock, and may have not eaten for an extended period of time, maybe even days.  It is incredibly important to be able to meet the basic need of food in order to assist someone as they make critical decisions.
