Unsung Hero Highlight: Ruby Red
by Luise Gleason, Marketing & Communications Coordinator, October 4, 2019 Whenever we tell stories about the impact of our work here at the Food Bank Coalition, we focus on our recipients, volunteers and donors. But there is actually one additional group of people that often goes unnoticed. It’s the silent helpers that come to pick up food, not for themselves but for someone else.

Our 30th Anniversary Celebration
by Luise Gleason, Marketing & Communications Coordinator, Sept. 27, 2019 As we came together on Friday, September 20, 2019, to celebrate our county’s response to hunger relief efforts, some members of our community had a chance to express their thoughts on the impact that we make every single day.

A Community Takes Care of Its Own at Judson Terrace Homes
by Luise Gleason, Marketing & Communications Coordinator, Sept. 19, 2019 Once a month, the residents at Judson Terrace Homes, a living complex for low-income seniors, get together for our Senior Food Distribution. This event does not only supply them with the food they need but also offers a great way to socialize and talk to each other. Many are thankful for the support they receive because they do not own a car which, in addition to financial difficulties, limits their ability to provide for themselves.

by Luise Gleason, Marketing & Communications Coordinator, Sept. 9, 2019 Blaze, Bobbie, Duane, Brad, William and Rebecca belong to the 30,000 individuals that the Food Bank Coalition serves on a monthly basis. Their unique stories not only provide examples of the struggles that we all go through as human beings, but they also remind us that each one of us can, at some point on our life, experience a situation that requires help from the community in which we live.
