8. November Guest Speaker:
November 11, 2020 – Olivia Reed, Youth & Community Organizer, Rainier Valley Food Bank to discuss recent programs and volunteer oppotunities. The RVFB opened in 1991 as a volunteer-led neighborhood pantry serving 50 families a week. Founded as Northwest Community Services, the organization experienced a rapid rise in demand as the nation’s economy began to decline in 2008. In response to this huge increase in the number of families in need of food in our neighborhood, the board changed the organization’s name to Rainier Valley Food Bank, and hired its first professional executive director in 2009.
