Our local food bank has changed management after Gina Kendrick retired due to health reasons after 24 years.
New manager is Savanna Dee, pictured above with helper Dewar Boutilier. She will be assisted by Powell River Action Centre Food Bank’s experienced long-term volunteers, as well as new volunteers from PR Brain Injury Society.
They hope to expand the food bank’s offerings once they settle into their new roles. They have already discussed the idea of a fresh fruit and vegetable program and the ongoing need to better accommodate allergies and strict dietary needs.
