Ann not only designed our artwork for the truck and sign, she also is quite handy with a welder! Ann welded the Truck Rails together, then hubby Clark installed them in the box truck to help stabilize pallet loads.
These rails for the pantry’s box truck will help keep food received from local grocery stores secure during transport. This is a vital addition to our truck to ensure volunteers are kept safe as well, making sure that every pound of rescued food makes it safely to the pantry for distribution.
Ann and Clark are a dynamic duo! Their daily contribution to Help Fight Hunger Together is beyond measure. Clark dedicates 4 days a week to pick up Retail Rescue food from local grocery stores so our clients will have a good variety of fresh food to choose from. He is one of our most valued volunteers and Board Members, establishing warehouse safety and training for volunteers.
