But in the hope that no one decides not to give food that is needed in our community right now, I will here. <br />I am the Executive Director of HALO. First there is no cook on staff at HALO or the food bank. Either a team of residents have the chore of cooking or volunteers groups from the community are cooking on any given day. Second there is no way to take food out unless you go by 60 men who know there is a shortage of food, and all who have an anonymous way to report anything they might see. <br />If you believe anything is being taken call me Kevin Cookman at 633-3235 X143 or call Dan Taivalkoski at the Food Bank 632-2307 and we will investigate. <br />At this time of year there is food brought in for the adopt a family program, that has been donated to families in temporary housing or at other shelters such as the women's resources center. This food is documented as a donation and delivered by staff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-19749962179500072522009-11-30T08:18:43.464-06:002009-11-30T08:18:43.464-06:00I would be more inclined to donate if I knew that ...I would be more inclined to donate if I knew that the needy were actually the recipients. An employee of mine who was living at the homeless shelter on DeKoven told me the cook and some of the staff were loading the trunks of their cars with donated food to take home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
