Francis Garcia fills a box at the Othello Food Bank Tuesday. While food donations are relatively easy to obtain, Food Bank Director Sharon Mobley says the facility could use financial donations to help pay for electricity to keep refrigerators and other equipment going.

Othello Food Bank looks to keep the lights on
Food distribution continues as nonprofit seeks funding
OTHELLO — Othello Food Bank director Sharon Mobley was loading the truck Tuesday morning, getting ready for a delivery. Supplying the food is one of the less challenging parts of running the facility, she said. “People kind of forget - you’ve got to keep the lights on,” Mobley said. “We’ve got to keep the refrigerators and freezers going, gas in the truck to pick up all the food. People don’t always think about those things.”
