The Western Maryland Food Bank's New Van

Aug 25, 2010 -- 10:39am

The Western Maryland Food Bank now has a new van and more than 500 pounds of food. thanks to Del McCoury and the Pale Ale Army. McCoury spent the last two days meeting with local officials and handing out more than 25 thousand dollars to local charities and non-profit organizations. The money is a portion of the proceeds from alcohol sales at this year’s Delfest. McCoury stopped by an event held by the Pale Ale Army, the grassroots effort organized to ensure Delfest stays in Allegany County. The Pale Ale Army has now shifted its focus to public service.Everyone in attendance was asked to bring a donation for the food bank. McCoury also met with Allegany County officials to discuss Delfest and it’s future.
Diana Loar the WMFB Executive Director says the van and the food donation were a blessing. She says the Pale Ale Army also donated more than $400 raised from the sale of t-shirts. Loar says it was an exciting visit from Del who drove the new van to up to the food bank himself. Loar says she volunteered at Delfest this year and she loves the festival and believes it is a huge asset to the community. Loar says the Delfest Foundation has made several donations to the food bank and even helped fix one of the main doors to the warehouse facility.  She says they continue to need food, money and volunteer donations each and every day. Loar says so far the need at the food bank has gone up about 10 percent since last year.
Loar says the new van will be used to pick up daily donations and help with recycling. Loar says they move about 1 million pounds of food and nonfood a year. They have more than 100 active agencies that they serve each day.
