The Food Bank of the Albemarle was the recent recipient of a $5,000 grant from the Albemarle Community Trust. The $5,000 grant will pay for 15,000 meals for those in need.

Receiving the grant are Brian Gray, communications and volunteer manager for the food bank, and Liz Reasoner, executive director.

The Albemarle Community Trust is funded by Albemarle EMC members who voluntarily contribute through their power bills.
