The Tri-Community Food Bank (TCFB) board is thankful for the many food bank volunteers who continued to provide food and hygiene products to our clients during the summer months. The volunteers delivered food boxes to clients in high temperatures and prepared food boxes without air conditioning when the unit went out in the main building. They also helped save meat and frozen fruit and vegetables when one of our walk-in freezers went out by moving the products to a second freezer. Once the freezer was repaired, they restocked the products.
Volunteers from SaddleBrooke Sunrise Rotary also continued to assist the food bank by helping to unload the United Food Bank truck and restock the products twice a month—a huge help.
