Letters Dear Smoke Signals: iskam mfkhmfk haws would like to sincerely thank all of the volunteers who have stepped up during its first six months of being open. You have provided more than 2,000 volunteer hours and served more than 2,000 food boxes to your community. We cannot do this wonderful work without you. If you haven’t volunteered yet, please give us a call. Your gift of time and talent means so much to families that are struggling. We are looking for assistance repacking food, putting food on the shelves, handing out food boxes and end-of-the-month inventorying. Groups are welcome and other opportunities are available. If you are interested in volunteering your time, please contact Francene Ambrose, Food Bank coordinator, at 503-879-3663 or at fambrose@mari- onpolkfoodshare.org.
