Volunteers put food into the bank’s new reusable bags donated by Command Packaging.
The Tri-Community Food Bank in Mammoth provides needed food supplies and other services to over 320 families per month.
One of its major ongoing needs has been to have sufficient, sturdy bags for clients to carry their supplies. This need recently has been fulfilled for an entire year through a donation of 4,000 reusable plastic bags. In expressing her appreciation, Joyce McClung, Treasurer for the food bank, said that this wonderful donation is “invaluable to the operation of our food bank.”
The 4,000 bags were donated by Command Packaging, a manufacturer of reusable plastic bags located in Los Angeles, CA. For 27 years, Command Packaging has been a national leader as a socially and environmentally responsible provider of premium and cost-effective reusable plastic bags. They deeply care about the environment and communities they serve. Organizations supported by Command Packaging include Families Forward, Boy Scouts, Food Finders, and California Department of Family and Child Services.
An officer of Command Packaging became aware of the Tri-Community Food Bank and its needs for reusable plastic bags through relatives who live in Oro Valley and volunteer at Kids Closet in Mammoth through SaddleBrooke Community Outreach. Upon hearing this need, she promptly arranged for this donation of enough bags to last an entire year.
