"My name is Pat Deruyter and I have been volunteering for the food bank for 8 years. Right now I am packing pre-packs for 1 or 2 person families. The impact on the community is tremendous. That makes us feel good because we're being a part of that," said Deruyter. Samantha Kirstein, the Fairbanks Community Food Bank Community Development Director, needs and appreciates your support and is ever so thankful for everyone who volunteers.
