South River food bank reports $166,380.53 balance; winter usage lower, donations noted
Summary
The board heard that the Food Bank has $166,380.53 on hand, is limiting patrons to two visits per month through March, and received notable holiday turnout and obituary donations; volunteers and item donations remain requested.
Board member Beth Lukacs reported the Food Bank’s balance at $166,380.53 and said operations are "going well," though patron numbers are lower in winter months. The board recorded that patrons are allowed to visit the Food Bank twice a month for January through March and that some shelf items still need to be purchased despite generally full shelves.
Lukacs thanked the Fire Department and Ria Mar for support after strong Thanksgiving and Christmas distributions and asked that the board be notified when obituaries include donations to the Food Bank. The board did not take any formal votes on new funding at this meeting.
