OC Podcasters

Our official organization name is Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County. We are a non profit affiliate of Council of Orange County, Society of St. Vincent de Paul. We are also a member of America’s Second Harvest the Nation’s Food Bank Network.

We were founded in October 1983. You should be able to find many facts and figures at our web site, www.FeedOC.org.
Our founders name is Dan Harney
Director: Joe Schoeningh
General Manager: Jerry Creekpaum
Board President: Bob Whiton

On the web site you will also find a video from our capital campaign that has some interesting shots of the old and the new. There are also numerous pictures of the new building.

The Board conducted an $8.5million capital campaign to turn this building into a food bank. The theme of the capital campaign is/was: Within Our Reach. A copy of the logo can be found on our web site. It is a stylized drawing of an adult holding a child up to reach an orange on a tree.

Interviews and angles:
Agencies - How does the new facility help their agency?
Regular Volunteers - Is it an easier place to be a volunteer - potential to be more efficient?
Board Members - How do they think that the new facility will impact the community? What was it like trying to raise the money?
Staff - How does the new facility impact their job? How is it different then the old building?

Thanks to all of you that have volunteered to be a part of this project.

Attached is the audio captured at the Jan 9th meetup where Bob talked about the event and suggested some angles on how to cover it. We would like to have both audio and video captured at this event. Saturday, January 26th at 10am is when the event begins, we would like to meetup before the start of the event for breakfast. A followup posting and email to our mailing list will contain all of this info.
