Churches to address local food bank shortage

Community churches will conduct a food drive this Friday from 4-8 p.m. at both Harvest Foods in Coulee Dam and Safeway in Grand Coulee.

The Care and Share Food Bank has been running low on supplies lately, said Paster Shawn Neider of Zion Lutheran Church, a problem nearing a “crisis level.”

Neider said anyone who would like to help but can’t make it to the stores during those hours can contact the food bank directly at 633-2742 or send a check to P.O. Box 671, Grand Coulee, WA, 99133.
