ATCCA Food Bank Delivers
Sonora, CA — Lee Kimball at the ATCCA food bank says that they are managing and processing the local volunteer effort. She says, “We live in just the greatest community! It has been a whirlwind of people coming in, even with their children.” The food bank has a list of volunteers and people are put to work answering the phone line, delivering supplies to the Mother Lode Fairgrounds Red Cross Evacuation Center, sorting, and updating their computer inventory system. Chefs at evacuation center have computer form that allows them to see what the inventory is so they have everything they need to prepare.
Food donations will be accepted at the food bank at 8:00AM or 2:00PM Saturday and Sunday. “We are clipping it along and it has been quite a fun thing to manage,” Kimball says in regards to the high volume of help.
ATCCA’s request: Today the greatest need is for paper plates and plastic utensils and cups. The chef request heavy duty plates, utensils and cups. They stress, do not go to the Fairgrounds or bring supplies to the fairgrounds, ATCCA is working with the Red Cross Evacuation Center directly to provide for all their needs.
They will also be open Monday through Friday for food donations between 9:00AM and 1:00PM.
