News bites from food bank by MADIE MURRAY
Food bank board member
Some exciting things have happened at the Orcas Island Food Bank in the past several weeks that we would like to share. Graduating senior Mykal Keyes designed her senior project to benefit the food bank. It was a delicious meal for the community that she prepared herself in the school cafeteria on May 9. As a result, she handed a generous check to Larry Shaw, executive director of the food bank board, in the amount of $300. Our sincere thanks to Mykal for making the food bank the
recipient of her thoughtful senior project. The entire graduating class at our public school was again thoughtful of the food bank at the Orcas Island Community Foundation Grants Awards Ceremony. Each year, OICF

Partners in Philanthropy give the graduating class $5,000 to give back to the community in any way they wish. This year, they decided they wanted to give the money to several nonprofits that “best filled and basic needs of the community.” In that vein, they awarded the food bank a very generous $1,000. Our thanks to the senior class. As of June 1, the food bank officially made Jeannie Doty the new food bank manager. Jeannie has been working tirelessly in a volunteer capacity since 2006 making sure the food bank
was sufficiently stocked, adequately manned, and ready for anything that came its way. She gets bargains wherever and whenever she finds them, packages and repackages items that are received from Northwest Harvest and other providers to make sure they can be distributed to our clients in usable portions and in efficient ways, and she makes sure the building, the equipment it holds and the inventory is always ready. Jeannie is largely responsible for how smoothly things run here
was to create an ad campaign for a nonprofit. The main goal of her assignment was to encourage shoppers at the food bank to choose healthy items and cook nutritious meals for themselves and their families. Each photo will have a recipe for the items pictured that clients can take with them. “I love what the food bank does for our little community and I have enjoyed volunteering and helping out when I can,” Thomas said.
