Featured Speakers

Olivia Reed and Gloria HatcherYouth & Community Organizer, Rainier Valley Food Bank to discuss recent programs and volunteer opportunities. 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.  Links to participate in programs and services available on website.  Contact Gloria at gloria@rvfb.org for more information.
