WOFB To Be Busy During Hunger Action Month
(From the West Ohio Food Bank)
West Ohio Food Bank to be active in September during Hunger Action Month
The West Ohio Food Bank along with Feeding America is encouraging one million actions across the country to end hunger. During the month-long campaign, the West Ohio Food Bank will be raising awareness and inspiring actions to nourish, educate, and advocate for those facing food insecurity. Every action matters, whether it is donating, volunteering, or spreading the word online. September 10th is Hunger Action Day. We encourage everyone to wear ORANGE, the color of hunger awareness, on that day.
West Ohio Food Bank recently passed another Warehouse Inspection conducted by the AIB
The West Ohio Food Bank was recently inspected by the American Institute of Baking (AIB). The AIB assists restaurants, factories, and warehouses that deal with food, on how to properly bake, store, and handle food products. A score over 900 earns the organization a banner that shows our commitment to food safety and policies that ensure this. This year we received a score of 905. We do this inspection every 2 years, and although it is not a state or federal requirement, it is a requirement based on our partnership with Feeding America.
