The INDEPENDENT, November 6, 2003 Page 9 Many projects to benefit Vernonia Cares Food Bank underway Vernonia Cares Food Bank has several projects underway at this time. The Grade Schools just completed a class com- petion food drive and delivered a record amount of 2,150 pounds of food to Vernonia Cares on October 31. The Vernonia Cub Scouts are spearheading a city-wide canned food drive which will culminate with a door-to-door pick up campaign November 8. Sacks of food can be left on home’s front porch for speedy pick up that day. If your food was missed in the pick-up, please call the food bank at 503- 429-1414 and leave a message and your phone number so a Food Bank staff person can arrange to pick up the food. The food bank will also leave food donation boxes at Sentry, Vernonia Hardware, True Value Hardware, Mini Mart, Vernonia 76, and Creatures Pet Store through Dec. 15. It is hoped, beside the regular canned food donations, that the community will pitch in holiday food items towards the Christmas Food Boxes. “Due to our 30% in creased client load from this time last year,” states Sandy Welch (local food bank direc tor), “w e’ve set our goal of 200 Christmas food boxes this year. More people are utilizing the food bank to offset their grocery needs during these difficult economic times.
