October Food bagging and Valley View food drive continue to be busy with high community demand/need for supplemental food items. For bagging we had 43 volunteers/ 86 volunteer hours, and bagged 1340 bags of food. The Valley View food drive had 22 volunteers/66 volunteer hours. We served 450 people and 115 families. We have been consistently running out of food items at this drive earlier than the scheduled 10:00 am finish. I am encouraging families to arrive before 8:30 am if possible so they can receive some food items. We also handed out to each family a schedule of mobile food pantries for the remainder of this year.
