The CdA News offers a public service announcement: Empty shelves at the food pantry! Food drive going on now!
Darrell Rickard, Community Action Food Bank director, says daily donations are collected from a variety of stores requiring two trucks. Community donations end up on these shelves prior to distribution. An increased need for assistance results in empty shelves as early as 2pm. Imagine if your cupboards emptied every day, sometimes by 2 pm.
Darrell Rickard, Community Action Food Bank director, orders whatever is available quarterly through a government food program. These flats of chili will be divided among 25 area food banks.
