Said JCFB, “The Wolf
Creek site closed in June due to
a lack of funding. For years, it
served as the only source of
emergency food for many hun-
gry families in Wolf Creek and
Sunny Valley.
“Its reopening is a suc-
cess for our communities and
a great relief to those in need
of food.
“We appreciate everyone
in Wolf Creek, Grants Pass and
at the Oregon Food Bank who
helped make this possible.”
For more information,
including information on how
to help support the Wolf
Creek Food Pantry or the
Josephine County Food Bank
Network, phone the latter at
