BURBANK (CBS) — Helena David braves bugs and branches and the elements so that the less fortunate can eat healthy.

David says some of her clients include former providers. The need is that great.

She says at the moment, 10 percent of Burbank families qualify as “needy,” about 6,000 families and 9,000 people.

If you want to help David, or want to offer fruits/veggies from your own garden, call her at the Burbank Temporary Aid Center (BTAC), 818-848-2822.

BTAC helps homeless families as well as those facing financial hardships.
