The Lewis River Mobile Food Bank has received a $3,000 grant from the regional U.S. Bank Foundation to support its growing clientele in north Clark County.
The mobile food bank uses a 17-foot trailer to serve four different north county locations each month. Clients can select the foods they will eat — canned food, dry goods, meats, frozen foods, dairy, fresh fruit and vegetables.
Demand is running 10 percent ahead of this time last year, food bank organizer Candice Howell said. The food bank is feeding an average of about 330 people a month.
The monthly distribution schedule, from 2 to 4 p.m. at all sites:
• First Sundays: View Fire Station, 37604 N.E. 119th Ave., La Center.
• Second Sundays: Fire District 2 station, 314 N.W. 389th St., La Center.
• Third Sundays: Yacolt Evangelical Free Church, 509 W. Cushman St., Yacolt.
• Fourth Sundays: La Center Evangelical Free Church, 111 E. Fifth St., La Center.

The food bank participates in the Fred Meyer Community Rewards program. People can generate funding, at no cost to themselves, by linking their Fred Meyer Rewards card to NPO#87740.
