The Redwood Empire Food Bank is continuing to offer food distribution for anyone in need at the Parking Lot of the Jack London Village the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each Month from 9:00PM to 11:00AM.

A small stalwart crew made the trek for our first Glen Ellen Forum volunteer day at Redwood Empire Food Bank earlier this month. We packed 5,400lbs of Apples! Full disclosure, we had a little help from other volunteers from all over Sonoma County.

The Food Bank is looking for volunteers to help in their warehouse. More information is available at www.refb.org.
