Awards: By Eve Marx For Cannon Beach Gazette R.J. MARX/CANNON BEACH GAZETTE The South County Com- munity Food Bank drive takes place throughout the year, said board member Mary Blake. “But there is such a peak need during the fall, going in to bad weather conditions, that we’re serving more people,” she said. Blake said the food bank has seen its numbers of peo- ple in food need double; the main reason, she said is there are so many more homeless. “There are more people liv- ing in a car,” she said. “Or couch-suring. More people have fallen off the grid. We normally give a food box out with anywhere from 65 to 130 pounds of food, but we’ve broken that into two collections because many people have no place to store it.” Blake said what’s fright- ening is that if a person al- ready living precariously misses one social security check, or one paycheck, or has an unexpected large bill, that can send them into food distress. “We’re seeing a real shift,” she said. “An increase he Food Bank serves 20 percent of the population of Seaside. in seniors and families. Sixty percent of the children we’re servicing live below the pov- erty line.” Food insecurity is deined as the state of being without reliable access to a suficient quantity of affordable, nutri- tious food. Oregonhunger. org estimates that 15 percent of Oregonians are food inse- cure. The South County Com- munity Food Bank is associ- ated with Clatsop Commu- nity Action and the Oregon Food Bank Network. “It’s a year-round need we’re addressing,” Blake said. “Twenty percent of the pop- ulation of Seaside, Gearhart and Cannon Beach is using the Food Pantry.” The South County Com- munity Food Bank has been in operation for over 28 years, started in 1981 by a local Seaside grocery store own- er who began giving hungry people food out of the back of his store. A few years ago the R.J. MARX/CANNON BEACH GAZETTE Karla Gann, director; and volunteers Tessa Beardsley and Derek Beatty at the Food Bank. Food Bank was able to move to into its present location at 2041 North Roosevelt Drive. “This is a brand-new fa- cility but it also costs more to operate,” Blake said. “We have increased utility costs for our walk in freezers and running our lights and our ve- hicle. We have an extremely streamlined use of our dol- lars, but if we were able to imagine a community with- out hunger, that is do-able.” What’s needed? Peanut butter is an essential, as well as canned corn, canned tuna, Pop-Tarts, single serving soup. “We need it all,” Blake said. The South County Com- munity Food Bank is always looking for donations as well as volunteers. They also have some openings for new board members. “We have a remarkable system we’ve implement- ed that is starting to get us more food,” Blake said. “We have some tough challenges ahead. But people children shouldn’t go hungry and se- niors shouldn’t feel so des- perate.” The food bank is located on the east side of Highway 101 in Seaside across from Seaside High School at 2041 North Roosevelt Drive; 503- 738-9800. • Cannon Beach Arts Associa- tion received $10,033 • Cannon Beach Chorus received $1,083 • Cannon Beach History Cen- ter received $833 • Clatsop CASA (Court Ap- pointed Special Advocate) received $3,550 • Clatsop Community Action received $6,350 • Clatsop Community College Foundation received $1,772 • Coaster Theatre received $3,083 • Healing Circle received $1,131 • Helping Hands received $8,625 • North Coast Food Web received $1,483 • Restoration House received $3,933 • Seaside Hall received $863 • Seaside High School CYBORG Robotics Team received $883 • Sunset Empire Park and Recreation District received $1,716 • South County Community Food Bank received $2,050 • The Harbor received $8,107 • Tolovana Arts Colony re- ceived $14,983 • Wildlife Center of the North Coast received $4,516 Cycling for cancer team departs from Cannon Beach By Lyra Fontaine Cannon Beach Gazette SUBMITTED PHOTO/CANNON BEACH GAZETTE Bristol-Myers Squibb em- ployee Melissa Marina from San Antonio, Texas wears a jersey for her husband, as she prepares to kick-of the 2016 Coast 2 Coast 4 Cancer Ride from Cannon Beach. Six teams will relay nearly 2,800 miles in 21 days from the Oregon Coast to the Jersey Shore in sup- port of Stand Up To Cancer. ca n n on bea ch GAZ E T T E This month, a team of on- cology employees from phar- maceutical company Bris- tol-Myers Squibb embarked on a mountainous bike ride from Cannon Beach to Boise, Idaho. The team that kicked off in Tolovana Park on Sept. 7 was one of six that are cy- cling 450 miles each. The en- tire ride, called Coast 2 Coast 4 Cancer, covers about 2,800 miles. “We are doing it to raise awareness for cancer re- search and generate funds,” oncology sales vice president and team cyclist Stefan Hen- driks said. “Going through challenging experiences with others creates extra memo- ries. At the same time, it’s part of our goal to allow more memories for patients.” The teams hope to raise $1 million to “bring science and better solutions” to patients, Hendriks said. Bristol-Myers Squibb will match each dollar raised up to $500,000. The ride brings oncology employees from different in- stitutions and disciplines to- gether. The end destination, where all groups will meet, is the Jersey Shore. The team chose to start in Cannon Beach for its lodging, beach and bik- ing-friendly environment. “Many don’t have any biking experience and had to train,” Hendriks said. After undergoing about ive months of training, he was excited but “a little anxious” on the day before departure. 239 N. Hemlock • Cannon Beach • 503.436.0208 HIRING EVENT!
