Foodbank receives apples galore

A food bank in North Carolina received a gift with a seasonal flavor this fall when an apple producer donated harvesting rights to an entire six-acre apple orchard. MANNA Foodbank, of Henderson County, N.C., hopes to get about 200,000 pounds of apples, which will go some way toward relieving hunger among impoverished families in the area. “With chronic food insecurity affecting more than 100,000 people in our mountain region,” said Joshua Stack, the food bank’s communications manager, “this apple harvest will represent an important bump in our food distribution.”
