Please be aware that there may be weather related delays in food deliveries this week.   At this time we are hoping to keep our regular route, though this will depend on weather and traffic conditions. If conditions do force extended delays or cancelations, you will be contacted.

There was an error in the date posted on the request for a space to hold the next SCFS network meeting.  It should have read Thursday March 22nd.  The Salvation Army at 1155 Flanagan Ave in Coos Bay has graciously said they would host us - thank you.  The potluck will begin at 11:30 with meeting to follow at noon until 3:30 or so.  SCFS will bring drinks, desserts, and potluck utensils.  Please bring a covered dish (potluck dish) to share with the attendees.

Dear Partner Agencies,

Here is an update from the South Coast Food Share staff! Below you will find important information pertaining to your food orders. If you have any questions about any of this information, please contact us.

Staff Illnesses
Two of our critical staff members are now out with illnesses. We are also in the process of becoming familiar with an update to our software system. At this time, we are doing everything within our ability to keep operations steady. Patience from our partner agencies is going to be essential to keeping food orders flowing properly.

Dear Partner Agencies,

Looking for some additional board member training?  Here is a great opportunity right in our backyard!  On March 31, 2012 Financial Stewardship Inc, is offering a one day workshop, Southern Oregon Nonprofit Organizational Board training from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Gold Beach. 

South Coast Food Share would like to make this training accessible to our partner agencies, so there are some scholarships available.  Please contact Peggy Roberson (541-435-7080 ext. 398, or via email) to find out more about scholarships or registration.

Thank you for all you do to help feed people who are hungry on the South Coast!

Sincerely,

Mary Schoen-Clark
