Ozarks Food Harvest relies on volunteers to sort more than 100,000 pounds of food each week for its network of 270 food pantries in 28 counties.
One of those volunteers was recognized Wednesday for contributing 2,000 hours of service in seven years.
Don Landon is 93, and his name is now on a 2,000 hours-volunteered branch of the Charles Foltz Gift of Time Tree, which celebrates those who have contributed at least 2,000 hours. The tree is named for Foltz, a long time volunteer at OFH.
Volunteers not only help sort food, they also sort seeds, build Senior Food Boxes and assemble Weekend Backpack Program food bags.
