Food bank enlarges warehouse
to help needy in Brazos County
i(
By Kelley Bullock
Reporter
Although the Brazos Food Bank
for the Bryan-College Station area is
operating comfortably from its new
warehouse, the organization nearly
had to shut down before its address
change on April 1.
“We had almost suspended opera
tions for the two months that we
were moving, because we had to
leave the other warehouse and put
things in temporary storage until we
could move them here,” said Sharon
J. Shaw, director of operations for
the Brazos Food Bank. “We kept the
normal operations going. That is,
the volunteers would pick up food
from the various stores and then de
liver the food directly to the agen
cies.”
About 16 agencies help distribute
food to the needy people.
“There are an awful lot of needy
people out there,” Shaw said.
“There are a lot of agencies that help
them, such as the Red Cross, various
churches which have established
pantries and the (Twin City) mis
sion.
“We then will redistribute to agen
cies which will pass the food on to
the needy people. We don’t deal
with the needy people themselves.”
The Brazos Food Bank hopes to
grow so that it will serve even more
needy people in the local commu
nity.
“Eventually, we will have the capa
bility to get hundreds of pounds of
almost anything at one time,” Shaw
said. “My concern is having space for
growth.”
The warehouse the food bank had
before had been donated. It was
about 1,000 square feet, while the
new leased warehouse is about 5,000
square feet.
“The old warehouse was a very
generous offer on the part of the
owner,” Shaw said. “He donated it
because he had no need for it, hut as
soon as he had a need, we had to go.
“They gave us as much time as
food is either donated by various
businesses or bought by the bank at a
low rate.
“There’s a lot of surplus food,
such as from grocery stores and
wholesalers," Shaw said. "We gather
die food and put it through the
pipeline to the people who really
need it.
“We collect between 3,500 pounds
“Eventually, we will have the capability to get hun
dreds of pounds of almost anything at one time. . . .
The grocery stores donate because the alternative is to
throw the food in the dumpster. That’s what they did
before the food bank existed here. ”
Sharon J. Shaw, food bank director of operations
' I
they could, and it took us a long time
to find something suitable.”
In order to lease a building, the
Brazos Food Bank relied on funds
from the United Way, which gives
$5,700 per year.
“The United Way is the (hief sup
port for our organization, because it
does lake money to lease this build
ing, pay for utilities and pay for of
fice supplies and various little
things,” Snaw said.
A one-year lease for the ware
house costs the bank $300 pet
month, and utilities cost from SI00
to $200 per month, said Michael
Stecher, president of the board of
directors for the hank.
The organization is run by volun
teers, except for the director of op
erations, who is paid $100 per week
as a part-time employee, and the
and 4,000 pounds of bread per
week. Most of it is picked up by vol
unteers who go
to four Safeway
stores and two Winn Dixie stores in
Bryan and College Station. Then
they take it directly to agencies that
give to the needy. We never see it
here.
“In addition, the stores usually
contribute from 250 and 500
pounds of dairy products per week.
"The grocery stores donate Ire-
cause the alternative is to throw the
food in the dumpster. That’s what
they did before the food hank
existed here."
The food given to the bank is
older food or cosmetically damaged
food that the store cannot sell any
more, but is perfectly edible.
"Bread has a shelf-life of a day in
a store, hut the bread really lasts a lot
longer than that," Shaw said,
usually deliver the bread i|j

Mutilated fish wash ashore after shark atfac
‘G(
PORT ARANSAS (AP) — Marine life experts
were called on Monday to determine whether a
shark’s attack on a swimmer is linked to the muti
lated bodies of several fish that washed ashore,
officials said.
April Dawn Voglino, 16, was recovering Mon
day from surgery at a Corpus Christi hospital,
where she was taken after a 5-foot shark bit off
her arm below the shoulder, officials said.
The Kingsland teen-ager’s condition was up
graded from serious but stable to poor by doctors
at Memorial Medical Center, hospital official He
len Persad said.
Nueces County Commissioner J.P. Luby said a
meeting was planned for Tuesday, and experts
would he asked whether the attack was related to
the mulitated baby sand sharks, turtles and a
large amberjack that washed ashore Sunday.
Voglino was in chest-deep water near Mustang
Island Saturday when the shark attacked her.
She was swimming with her father. Robert Vog-
lino, who pounded at the shark and carried his
daughter ashore after the shark swam w
was not injured.
Luby said Voglino and her parentswrta
at an isolated beach near Aransas Beack
p.m. when the attack took place.
“We’ve had people bitten before, bui: J
as major as this," Luby said. “If thereiiiEl

His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Founder of
the Transcendental Meditation Program
Dear student,
Psychologists say that most people
use only a small fraction of their
mental potential. Ever wonder what
would happen if you could unlock the
rest of your capabilities? Think what
it would mean for your learning
ability, your productivity, your future
prosperity. There’d be almost no limit
to what you could accomplish!
BECOME A TOP PERFORMER
Well, you can unfold your poten
tial, and the technique is remarkably
easy. You’ll learn about it soon at a
free lecture on the Transcendental
Meditation (TM) technique. If you
want the success in life you’ve been
dreaming about, I urge you to at
tend this lecture.
My name is Fred Poneman. Fm
regional vice president of a national
investment brokerage firm and spend
most of my time teaching people how
to be more successful and productive.
In my experience, the most success
ful people are the ones who practice
Transcendental Meditation.
Why? Because, as you’ll learn at
the lecture, the simple, natural TM
technique, practiced 15-20 minutes
twice a day, brings a person greater
clarity of mind, greater creativity,
and greater organizing power. TM
helps people to excel in a fast-chang
ing, stressful environment. Ifs proven
itself to be the best thing in the
world you can do to become a top
performer.
Success in life
is easier than you think,
Attend this free lecture
and learn why.
BENEFFI’S TO STUDENTS
B y now, more than 1,000,000
students like yourself have
experienced the benefits of TM.
More than 350 scientific research
studies over the last 15 years have doc
umented these benefits, and many of
the findings are directly related to your
life as a student including:
■ increased intelligence and learning
ability
■ improved comprehension,
concentration, and memory
■ improved academic and job
performance
■ reduced stress and anxiety
HI increased happiness
9 improved interpersonal
relationships
■ improved athletic perfonnance
At the upcoming lecture, you’ll hear
details of some of this research. You’ll
also learn the reason why TM brings so
many benefits (o mind, body, and
behavior at the same time.
In brief, the explanation is this.
At the basis of all of creation is the
unified field of all of the laws of nature
as described by modern physics and
by ancient Vedic science. The TM
technique allows you to experience the
unified field within your own con
sciousness. Having this experience
twice a day brings you more and more
support of the laws of nature. And this
means it gets easier and easier to ful
fill all your desires for greater success
and achievement in life.
TECHNIQUE FOR SUCCESS
But there’s even more to it than that,
At the lecture, you’ll also hearaboot
the “Super Radiance” effect. Whenas
little as the square root of one percent
of the population of a city or a country
practices the TM technique and its
advanced aspects, the crime and acci
dent rates go down, and society as a
whole becomes more peaceful and
productive. That’s how powerful the
TM technique is!
The benefits that TM has broughtto
so many people throughout the world
will grow in your life too, once you
begin the technique (which I recom
mend that you do). But for now, why
not just attend the free lecture? It's only
about 45 minutes long, yet it could
mark the beginning of a whole net'
level of personal satisfaction and
performance that will continue to
grow for the rest of your life.
The date and time of the free lecture
are listed below. I hope you’ll be them,
and I guarantee you won’t be sorry!
Wishing you all success,
