It includes information on who we serve, our distribution schedule, how to volunteer, how and where to make donations, wish list, sponsors and affiliates, upcoming events and other resources. We hope everyone can check it out and give us any feedback. With the support of some wonderful teachers, each week a different group of school children fills the Food Bank with limitless excitement and cheer, all while getting an enormous amount of volunteer work done. The teachers who bring their classes to the Food Bank deserve special kudos. Angie Ashe with their 2nd graders from Stevens Elementary.
Parents also come, and help supervise while volunteering with the kids.
The kids are an absolute joy to have in the Food Bank. They make bags, repackage bread and sweets, and stock and organize the canned foods on our shelves. At the end of the hour, there is a mad rush to grab brooms to sweep the floor and washcloths to wipe down the counters. The place practically vibrates with their energy. The ethic of service they are learning will last a lifetime, while the excellent work that they do makes a difference today.
