Food bank strives to soit naails 

As the holiday sea- 
son approaches the 
Central Florida Food 
Bank has a hard time 
meeting it's goals of 
. distributing food. to 
the needy of the area. 

Mrs. Clara Davis 
Warren established 

#8 the Central Florida 

Food Bank in May of 
1978 in response to the 
.growing need of fam- 
ilies in need of emer- 
gency ‘aid. In Octo- 
ber, 1979, the grbup 

officially received it's 

charter as a non-pro- 
fit organization. 

Initially, the Food 
Bank operated out of 

a large building on. 
: 18th: Street in. Apopka 
Food 
Bank has been forced . 
. to. move due to the: 
‘high costs of rent and 

however, the 

utilities and ‘is now 
situated on 105 Rosa 
Street. 

The program is 
similiar to other food 
distribution organiza- 
tions in that canned 
goods constituting a 
complete meal are 
distributed to needy 
individuals or‘ fami- 
lies. 

..!'Reputable agen- 
cies, such as area 
churches, the fire de- 

partment and other 
.gocial agencies : us- 
usually inform me of 
families that. need 

help,” Mrs. Warren 
explained. 
‘“There is a policy 

“which states that the 

individual who re- 

‘wceives the food of- 

ed by the Central 

orida Food Bank 

JR'S & 
tange¥iuee 

must have been un- 
employed for a total 
of 9.6 months. The 
individual must pro- 
vide a Social Security 

number and if the re- 

cipient is a refugee 
then their “A” num- 

ber must be record-- 

ed,’ Mrs. Warren 

stated. 

“If each church in 
the area would send 

. one volunteer a week 

to help us, think of the 
numbers of people 
that we would have. 
We need community 
concern and involve- 
ment expecially at 
this time of the year 
when lay-offs and un- 
employment are evi- 
dent everywhere,” 
she stated. 

‘We appreciate do- 
nations at-any time of

the year for it costs 
about $6 to feed one 
individual three 
meals a day on this 
program, 

‘“The churches 
have donated a lot of 
food to us in the past 
and the Sertoma Club 
was a huge help to us 
last year when they 
donated almost $200 
worth of food and a 
similiar amount in 
cash which helped us 
pay for the utilities 
and rent,” Mrs War- 
ren stated. 

The people that 
Mrs. Warren helps fit 
no typical = descrip- 
tion. They range in 

age from infants to 
silver-haired adults. 
They all need help 
though; and in this 
respect they are very 
similiar, she said. 

Mrs. Warren has 
poured a great deal of 
her own money into 
this organization and 
will continue to do so 
unless she receives 
help from other sourc- 
es. 

Donations can be- 
accepted through the 
mail at P.O. Box 449, 
Apopka, or if you 
would like to ‘provide 
Mrs. Warren with 
volunteer assistance 
please give her a call.
