The West Ohio Food Bank is seeking additional volunteers during the summer months as participation typically declines due to vacations and school breaks. Officials say volunteers can serve for as little as an hour and will be matched with opportunities that fit their schedules and interests.

Wings and Rings donated $6,324.50 to the West Ohio Food Bank from proceeds generated during last summer’s Car and Bike Nights, helping provide thousands of meals to area residents in need.

The West Ohio Food Bank will hold its annual resource fair and largest food distribution event of the year on June 4 at the Allen County Fairgrounds. The event will connect families with local services and provide food assistance while organizers continue seeking volunteers and sponsors.

The West Ohio Food Bank is reminding patrons to follow the rules during monthly food distribution days.

“We take a lot of food in, we push a lot of food out. Of course, we're the largest food distributor in west central Ohio. So anytime we have a company and we have a regular relationship with a company like Aunt Millie's, it's a great thing,” said Jason Aldrich, communications and public relations manager for the West Ohio Food Bank.

The West Ohio Food Bank is preparing for its next community effort — a hygiene drive aimed at helping seniors 60 and older.

“There’s no registration required,” said Jason Aldrich, communications and public relations manager for the West Ohio Food Bank. “Simply come out, line up in your car, get out for a little bit to explore the resource fair and all the booths we’ll have there to offer, and then just follow the line through the fairgrounds.”
