The Eagle Community Charitable Food Bank (the food bank) has merged its efforts with The Landing Community Center.

Effective September 1, 2007, the food bank is operating under the umbrella of The Landing Community Center.  This merger enables the collaboration of services to the community without duplication.  The goal of the food bank is to maintain our systems and services without any change to our recipients or our supporters.  Our relationship with The Landing will allow us to expand services to our families and seniors.  The Landing will also be providing support on the administrative side of our operations.  Donations can continue to be made to the food Bank. Please make checks payable to The Landing Community Center and note FOOD BANK DONATION in the “memo” portion of your check.

You can still find us in the old fire house building on State Street – which is now The Landing Center for Performing Arts.  We are located around the back of that building on the east side.

Please note the following updates:

• Mailing address:  PO Box 639, Eagle, ID  83616
• Contact:  Karen Arguello at 761-2492 or e-mail her at  perkarguello@msn.com
• Days of distribution:  1st and 3rd Thursday of each month – 10am-1pm.
• Donations are received by appointment.  Please use phone # above to coordinate a date and time.

It is our pleasure to serve the communities of Eagle and Star and we thank you for your ongoing support.  Please do not hesitate to call if you have any requests, referrals or questions.

Acknowledgment
The volunteers and board members of the Eagle Community Food bank would like to extend our sincere thanks to all our Eagle and Star neighbors who continually donate their food items and money in our effort to assure an adequate supply of food to our recipients.

We are not affiliated with any similar organization in the vicinity and rely solely on our neighbors for support. All the time and effort put forth by our volunteers is without cost to the operation.

Please help us through your generous offering – nonperishable food items and/or money.
