Women's Hoops Notches Pre-Season Assist at LA Food Bank

LOS ANGELES -- Coming into the 2012-13 season with a new head coach and new players alike, the Cal State Dominguez Hills women's basketball team paired with the Los Angeles Food Bank in lending a hand last weekend for the first team assist of the year.

Spearheaded by head coach Molly Goodenbour and her coaching staff, the Toros spent the entire Saturday morning sorting through boxes, separating edible items by category, packaging food and weighing boxes prior to them being transported to the cooler/freezer areas, all while disposing expired or damaged goods.

"It was a great way for our team to give back to the local community, and a great experience for us and a way to lend a helping hand to those who are in need," begins Goodenbour.

"It was a great learning exprience to see what goes into the LA Food Bank, all the work that they do and the tremendous amount of volunteers that are needed. And although we were just a small part of that volunteer pool, we were happy to be there."

Through their Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), the Toros also make an annual visit to the LA Food Bank during the fall and upcoming holiday season.
