Food/Clothing Bank Tries Out Evening Hours

Evening hours are being offered on a trial basis at the Valley Food Bank and Clothing Bank.

The hours are from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesdays. The change is an attempt to better serve clients, said Barbara Olson, Valley Center executive director.

The non-profit agencies also hope the evening hours will allow more teenagers and families to participate in community service.
