Marion Food Bank explains plan to expand to commission
The Marion County Board of Commissioners heard an update on the Marion Food Bank from Gene Winkler and Gerry Henderson.
Winkler thanked the board for the utility assistance they give the food bank. The county pays for the utilities for the food bank so that they do not have to worry about that cost.
“Throughout the year of 2020, we served 2541 families for a total 6887 individual people,” said Winkler.
Winkler explained that all the food they get in has to be weighed. While much of the food is donated there are some costs. Food that comes in from the Wichita food bank costs a small amount per pound. For 2020, they received 87,627 pounds from the Wichita Food Bank although three months of that was covered by a grant and did not cost them anything.
