2. INTRODUCTION
 As president and founder of Elite Financial Group, LLC, in
Newport Beach, California, George Argyros, Jr. provides diverse
insurance services. George Argyros, Jr.'s philanthropic efforts
have included donations to charitable organizations such as
Second Harvest Food Bank.
Started in 1974, Second Harvest is one of the largest agencies of
its kind, giving away food to more than a quarter million people
each month. One of its key services is Family Harvest, which aids
families with low incomes who have children under 18. It offers
alternatives to fast food and low-nutritional items, which are
inexpensive but do not make for healthful eating.
Once a month, each family receives three or four grocery bags of
food. Participants receive an assortment of frozen and canned
foods, ground turkey, pasta, eggs, and fresh fruits and
vegetables.

 Family Harvest does more than fill shelves.
Nutritionists inform recipients of positive eating habits
and provide samples of good food they may not have
encountered. Publications in several languages print
recipes and preparation instructions.
The success of Family Harvest's mission is reflected
in a survey of its participants. Nearly all of them
reported a healthier diet for their children. Two-thirds
ate more vegetables and fruits, roughly half reported
cooking more, and four out of ten stated that they
consumed less fast food.
