The holidays are
a time of year when thoughts turn to family, friends
and those less fortunate. The volunteers at the Durango
Food Bank have been demonstrating this giving spirit
for the past 30 years. This nonprofit, emergency assistance
program will feed 496 families in 2003, amounting to
more than 62,000 meals. Run entirely by volunteers,
Durango Food Bank Director Renea Young always welcomes
new recruits. The food bank also welcomes donations
in its drop boxes located at Albertsons and City Market.
The Durango Food Bank will be distributing its USDA
commodities at the Durango Fairgrounds this Thursday,
Dec. 18, from 8 a.m. to noon. For more information,
call 375-2672.
