Everything went well for the half-day volunteer work held by the Filipino –American community of the Carolinas (FACC) at the Second Harvest Food Bank last Oct. 12.

FACC 1st Vice-President Joannes Ave said the 9 a.m to 12 noon activity helped the children of FACC members earn volunteer hours needed for their studies.

Organizing civic activities is part of the responsibilities of the 1st vice president under the by-laws of the FACC, a partner agency of the Second Harvest Food Bank.




The Food Bank is committed to gathering and sharing food with the needy. Canned goods were collected from members and donated to the Food Bank during spring and summer picnics.

The community day was attended by the 2013 officers of FACC headed by incumbent President Florami Lao-Lee. Ave is mailing the certificate of 40-student volunteers.
