Channel One Regional Food Bank expresses sincere gratitude for our generous community partner, First Alliance Credit Union,” said Jessica Sund, Development Director of Channel One Regional Food Bank.
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed a strain on resources for Channel One Regional Food Bank and food banks across the nation. Channel One is unable to accept community donations, and their most significant source of food, the grocery industry is also strained.
