Hello South Coast Food Share Network,

This is Morgan Filbert, writing to inform you that my last day of service with South Coast Food Share is July 9, 2010. Over the past year of volunteering I've had the honor of getting to work alongside all of you and help feed the families of the South Coast. Some of you I've been able to work directly with, while others of you have only known me as a voice on a phone. To each of you, however, I'd like to say how wonderful it is that you do the work here to help your neighbors and wish you all the very best.

Thank you,
Morgan Filbert

Blanketing the Network

The South Coast Food Share is going to be receiving 109 more cases of emergency blankets. You may remember when the call went out a few months back; that the Department of Defense was going to be giving us emergency blankets to give out to the network.Well we’re going to be receiving more and we’d like to reopen the offer. The blankets come 12 to a case, and we’ll be receiving 109 cases. We don’t know exactly when the blankets will be arriving but we assume it will be in the next two weeks.

Each Blanket is individually wrapped in plastic and will store well until needed.  So if anyone can make use of some emergency blankets please let Morgan Filbert know at 541-888-7297 or at mfilbert (at) orcca (dot) us.

Thank you.

Network Meeting
The next South Coast Food Share Network Meeting is happening:

• Thursday May 20th, 2010
• The meeting is being held at the Nancy Devereux Center at 1200 Newmark Ave. Coos Bay, OR.
• Lunch will begin at 11:30 and is being provided by the Nancy Devereaux Center.  The meeting will begin at 12:15.

We don’t think we can impress upon you how very important this is. Everyone in the Network needs to check and make sure that they comply with the new tax laws. If you are, or are sponsored by, a non-profit whose annual yearly revenue is under $25,000 you need to file a tax form with the IRS. This is very crucial. You need to send in a 990-N form to the IRS by May 15. The details of the form can be found here.
