Children donate to help fight rising hunger on South CoastFor three decades the Ecumenical Emergency Food Cupboard has been feeding the hungry in the Bay Area, but long-time volunteers say this year they could be seeing their biggest need yet.
Located beneath the Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Downtown Coos Bay, the Food Cupboard has been very busy of late, but Thursday was a good kind of busy.
On that day they were busy unloading two huge donations from area school children(over 2,000 items from Bunker Hill Elementary students in Coos Bay and over 3,000 items from Hillcrest Elementary students in North Bend).
And it really is true that every little bit helps, but perhaps this year more than ever.
Margaret McMullen, who has been with the Food Cupboard for 20 of their 30 years, is the group's President. She says they've been pleasantly surprised that, given the economy, they have not seen any drop in their number of donations at this time of year.
