What do you do when the news is a constant reminder that many people are facing dire situations, with insurance rates going up, the SNAP (food stamp) programs coming to an abrupt halt and grocery prices soaring?
In Caribou County, what a lot of people have done is to donate to the Caribou County Food Bank. There have been food drives at the hospital and schools, and generous donations from numerous organizations and private individuals. If that doesn’t make you proud of where you live and give you a warm feeling, I don’t know what will. Pictured above are the Caribou County Food Bank volunteers with two of the caring donors. Mike and Carla Reidle were concerned that families might not be able to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner this year and have donated twenty grocery gift cards to the Food Bank.
The Caribou County Food Bank is primarily funded by private donations and is manned every Wednesday from 1 P.M. to 3 P.M. by members of Beta Sigma Phi. The Caribou County Food Bank falls under the direction of SEICAA, which is managed by Renae Lynch. Patrons of the food bank must submit financial documents and meet requirements for services. The Food Bank is located in SEICAA office, in the red metal building to the north of the Soda Springs Police offices, at 159 S. Main St.
