Zack Wilson with High Plains Food Bank

·   25 Years old this month.

·   501 C-3 Non Profit

·   Located at 811 Ross essentially 9th & Ross

·   4.9 Million pounds of food collected last year…406,000 pounds of food each month.

·   Run by Board of Directors (18) smaller than the average food bank staff of 25-30

·   61,000 people in the Panhandle are at or below poverty level.

·   35% of this amount are children under the age of 18

·   73% of this amount are food insecure and

·   31% are hungry right now.

·   Food inventory is down 46% from this time last year due partly because of food recalls.

·   51,000 square foot ware house

·   90,000 cubic feet for refrigerated items.

·   Work with TDJC Clements Inmates to help them with sorting and everyday labor for the food bank in return the Inmates receive their certification in forklift operation…giving them a leg up on employment for when they are released.

Queens Fine Time

·   Freddie Davis was throwing paper even before the meeting started…not setting a very good example to the children in attendance.

·   Amy Lee for wearing her sunglasses…

·   Mike Wartes for not having a parking spot for the Queen who will not be in attendance next week due to surgery on her knee…and would really appreciate it if the parking place could happen before she returns to school.

·   Paula stole the Queens thunder…ponderous…I didn’t notice any rain.

·   Andy 3% Hix because the Queen will be out next week having surgery and she does not want him to get cocky while she is gone.

·   Cute Table

·   She wanted to fine everyone who has not yet purchased a raffle ticket from Don on the United Way Campaign…because the Queen works at CASP after school and this could very well mean a raise for her.

·   Howard Morris fined because the room is freezing.
