Food bank: ‘90 percent of my volunteers are not coming back’
Continued from Page 1A
mismanagement. It c ould
jeopardize Thanksgiving and
holiday meals and leave thou-
sands of dollars in Christmas
gifts undelivered, she said.
Late Friday, South County
Food Bank board members
released a statement that the
food bank would close for
two weeks for an “internal
restructuring.”
“With
the
consistent
growth in the number of peo-
ple we are serving on a daily
basis, we really need to make
sure we have the infrastructure
in place to continue to feed
everyone who comes through
the doors,” board president
Darren Gooch said.
Gooch said the closure pro-
vides an opportunity to focus
on “future sustainability.”
The food bank, located at
2041 N. Roosevelt Drive , is a
private nonprofi t serving the
hungry in Seaside. It survives
on contributions from individ-
uals, organizations, founda-
tions, businesses and cities.
Board member Alan Evans
said the food bank will work
to guarantee no break in ser-
vices. There will be changes to
some management and volun-
teers, as well as paperwork and
internal policies .
“We have realized that the
need for our services becomes
more important daily as more
people fi nd themselves in
need,” Evans said. “With that
increase in need becomes a
bigger responsibility for us to
be sustainable. We realize that
stronger policies are needed
to be enforced to our manage-
ment, volunteers and the foun-
dation of our services to our
partnering agencies and the
people we serve.”
Board members said any
delivery changes would be for
the purpose of better service.
Regional food banks will
supplement private food dona-

tions, Evans said. Food dona-
tions will be accepted during
the restructuring.
Board members will also
take the time during the clo-
sure to clean, organize and
deal with inventory.
‘Totally devastated’
The South County Food
Bank was launched with dona-
tions from a Seaside grocery
in 1981 and incorporated as a
nonprofi t in 1986. It is associ-
ated with Clatsop Community
Action and an affi liate of the
Oregon Food Bank Network.
It was housed in a location
in a building provided by the
Moose Club for 28 years, until
the Moose Club disbanded in
2013.
Gann, who is unsalaried,
took over as the food pantry’s
managing director in 2013,
replacing Norm McLaren.
From 390 to 470 families
use the food bank each month .
Gann said changes in the
board, including departures
of key members, changed its
composition. “It’s all a big
month, about 100 who need to
walk for their food “are going
to suffer” because they can’t
get to food banks in Gearhart
or Cannon Beach, Gann said.
“Food is rotting in the
fridges because they did this,”
she said.
Regular donation pickups
from North Coast Family Fel-
lowship in Seaside — yielding
1,000 pounds of food a month
— will be interrupted, she said.
Gann does not expect most
of the 60 volunteers to return
after the food bank’s reopen-
ing, she said.
“My people are up in
arms and 90 percent of my
volunteers are not coming
back,” she said. “I’m totally
devastated. This is the busiest
time of the month and there
will be a week-and-a-half peo-
ple will go hungry. I am so
sorry for these people. I am so
upset.”
The food bank is scheduled
to reopen Nov. 7.
clique of friends now,” she
said.
Gann, who said she’d
worked 70 to 80 hours a week
at the food bank, clashed over
a request by board members to
provide personal information
on food bank patrons.
The board cut Christ-
mas and Thanksgiving din-
ner boxes because of the belief
that patrons were “double-dip-
ping and getting stuff every-
where,” Gann said.
“We’ve got a room in the
back of my offi ce of Christ-
mas presents for kids people
already sent in, and they’re
going to get rid of it all,” she
said.
An aisle offering patrons
free shoes, clothing, blankets
and cookware was also an
issue . “They’re getting rid of
all that stuff,” she said.
‘Rotting in the fridges’
Of the 240 people to lose
service at the food bank this
McClure: Much of his job involves teaching students how to access information
Continued from Page 1A
at the University of North Car-
olina in Greensboro. McClure
started his career at the Greens-
boro Public Library before
working at the university.
In 2005, he and Noelle
moved back to the Pacifi c
Northwest, where he held
positions at the Fort Vancou-
ver Regional Library, Lewis
and Clark College’s National
Crime Victim Law Institute,
law fi rm Miller Nash and the
Art Institute of Portland.
McClure then spent eight
years as the director of
library services at the Pacifi c
Northwest College of Art
before his wife was recruited
to Seattle for a job at billion-
aire Paul Allen’s Vulcan Inc.
He found work at Vulcan and
later as an adjunct librarian at
Olympic College in Bremer-
ton, Washington, but felt
underemployed as a seasoned
library director.
Like so many other people
who have moved to the North
Coast, McClure remembers
visiting as a child and fall-
ing in love with the natural
beauty, history and architec-
ture. He and his wife had a
tradition over the past decade
of visiting the North Coast
each year for his birthday in
the dead of winter, wishing
they could move.
The college had lost
its previous library direc-
tor and was looking for a
replacement at the same
time McClure was looking
for a better position. After
talking it over with Noelle,
the two decided to make the
move with their two cats and
chickens.
McClure checks out
books, but much of his job
involves teaching students
how to access information.
He oversees seven employees
and maintains the library’s
paper and digital collections
and website while helping
develop curriculum and pol-
icies. A big focus is help-
ing students scrutinize the
sources of information they
use, especially online.
“It’s not always apparent
to college students and other
people, information consum-
ers, where information comes
from and why it is produced.
Really scrutinizing the pur-
pose for the production of
information may help people
understand the cultural biases
and agendas of the informa-
tion itself.”
A fi lm noir buff, McClure
is planning fi lm nights at the
library, along with a technol-
ogy-free longhand writing
club called Freewriters.
He is getting to know other
local librarians who partner
with the college , each with
different specialties, such
as the college’s art literature
collection provided through
a New York nonprofi t help-
ing underfunded communi-
ties. McClure is also trying
to advertise the $20 annual
pass residents can use at the
college .
