‘Stuff the Truck’ sets record
The Daily Astorian
The results of the annual
“Stuff the Truck” Food Drive
set an all-time high record as
organizers, sponsors and sup-
porters rallied resources to
feed hungry people in Clatsop
County. Each year, since 2008,
Arbor Care Tree Specialists,
led by Luke Colvin, organizes
sponsorships, posters, volun-
teers and media, all geared to
collect food and funds to sup-
port the fight against hunger.
This year 1,592 pounds of
actual food and an additional
$14,159.19 was contributed to
help defray the cost of food and
distribution. To date, after nine
years of the event, the Clatsop
Community Action Regional
Food Bank has collected 43,197
pounds of food at the doors of
local supermarkets, donated
directly from people in the com-
munities, and over $86,259.41
from customer donations and

programs to recipients. Each
year CCA Regional Food Bank
provides enough emergency
food for nearly 1,500,000 meals

families in Clatsop County.
“Hunger has proven it does
not discriminate; and many
hard-working people in Clatsop
County fall victim to hunger
every day,” said Marlin Martin,
director of the CCA Regional
Food Bank. “Many thanks to
all who have supported the fight
against hunger. You are heroes
to thousands.”
