Fall Term 2012 was the first term that the Campus Food Bank was in operation. The term has been a great success, the Food Bank has served over 85 students, had close to 40 volunteers and raised over 1,800 pounds of Food. There was great volunteer support and many of the Food Bank's events were a great success. In the past few weeks the partnership between Marion Polk Food Share and the Food Bank was formed which was an important step in being able to now get large volumes of food donations. The Food Bank looks forward to the future where it hopes to communicate with other local Food Banks to figure out ways they can help one another to help support members in the community that are in need of food assistance. The Food Bank already has hopes of expanding and one day becoming a Food Bank that will serve the entire community. I hope everyone had a nice holiday season.
Kind Regards,
