CLARIFICATION: In the April 2 edition, a Keizertimes article titled Food bank on hunt for new home, the story was interpreted by some readers as if the Keizer Community Food Bank was being told it had to leave its current location at Faith Lutheran Church on River Road North. The church is not requiring the food bank to relocate. Diane McKillop, president of the Faith Lutheran Church Council, said the food bank needs space to expand; the church does not have other plans for the space the food bank is currently using. "Faith Lutheran Church continues to have a relationship with the food bank and it remains part of our ministry," McKillop said. Mayor declares Child Abuse Prevention Month By ERIC A.
