For some people, these are hard economic times. It can be a struggle to provide basic necessities, like food, clothing and shelter. But, as Greg Burnam tells us in this Bobcat Update, a helping hand is available at the Hays County Food Bank.


The Food Bank provides assistance to those in need. It's a volunteer organization that could use more volunteers. Coordinator Jim Wagner says the easiest way to get involved is to attend one of the group's training sessions.

Some employers say a resume that includes volunteering can be a plus.

Lauren worked her first shift today but has volunteered at other organizations since high school. She attended a training session last week.

The Food Bank depends on food donations, both large and small, to be able to feed the hungry in Hays County. The group sends its trucks to H-E-B each morning to pickup donations. Every can, box or jar helps someone in need.
The Hays Food Bank served 600-thousand pounds of food last year and served about four-thousand families.  If you'd like more information about donating or volunteering, check out the group's website at hays-food-bank-dot-org. For Bobcat Update, I'm Greg Burnam
