YUBA/SUTTER COUNTIES, CA (MPG) - Recently, local businessman Sarb Thiara has taken the job of supporting the Yuba-Sutter communities during the COVID-19 pandemic to heart.                 

Due to the Corona Virus, Yuba City and Marysville areas are in the midst of a food crisis. Thiara, responded to a call of the Yuba-Sutter COVID19 Task Force and SAYLove’s request for food donations as community food closets are running dry. With the help of his friends and family, Sarb Thiara generously donated 5639 lbs. of food to the Food Hub (Yuba City Kmart) and a large monetary donation of $5,000 to the organizations behind the distribution. Thiara also donated the use of his company van to help transport goods throughout the crisis. In an online post, SAYLove’s founder, Jeff Stephens, thanked Thiara and his crew for his generosity and support.

Thiara didn’t stop there. In a memo addressed to the first responders and healthcare workers in the Yuba/Sutter Area, Thiara said, “We wanted to take some time to let you know that we appreciate all the efforts the county has provided to this community. Without your selfless work, we could not have maintained this county at the standard we have,” thanking both counties and their employees for “maintaining the safety of the community.”  As part of that special “Thank You,” Thiara and his crew treated the Yuba and Sutter County Sheriffs’ Departments, Yuba City and Marysville Police Departments, Yuba City and Marysville Fire Departments, Bi-County Ambulance and Adventist Health Hospital to free lunches catered by Cool Hand Lukes of Yuba City.

That afternoon, the Yuba County Sheriff’s Department publicly thanked Thiara, the Thiara family and Jovan Orchards in a statement online saying that the lunches were the “highlight of our workday” and “thank you so much for your kindness and support!”

Spokesperson for Thaira, Money Dhami says that this all comes from the desire to support and a love of the Yuba-Sutter communities.
