Along with these changes, Food Share is announcing its plans for the future. The Food Share Board of Directors has promoted Colin Morgan to the position of operations manager. Morgan has worked at Florence Food Share for over 10 years, both as a volunteer and an employee in the ware- house. Board President Rick Klessig said that “Colin will oversee all of the ordering, purchasing, storage and distri- bution of food at the pantry. In addition, he will manage the day-to-day activities of the pantry, including assuring that clients have access to fresh, healthy food, that volunteers are available to help clients, and that our operations run as efficiently as possible. “Colin knows Florence Food Share inside and out, and his incredible work ethic makes him a perfect fit for us.” Klessig stated that Florence Food Share will seek a part- time Executive Director, who will oversee fundraising and grant writing, interact with the food share's donors and part- ners, and develop new pro- grams. Klessig said that “structur- ing Food Share with a part- time executive director and a full-time Operations Manager makes the best use of the funds so generously donated by our community.” Florence Food Share, 2190 Spruce St., is open to clients Monday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday and Wednesday evenings from 4 to 6 p.m. and the second and fourth Saturdays of each month from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Siuslaw Elementary School will host its spring kinder- garten pre-registration Meet and Greet on Monday, April 23, from 6 to 7 p.m. Parents and 2018-19 kindergarten students are invited to visit the class- rooms and meet the teachers.
