The Clark County Food Bank will be hosting a documentary showing of the film, A Place At The Table. This film examines what it looks like to be food insecure and then goes a step further to propose that food insecurity can be resolved by addressing one of its root causes: nutrition. The viewing takes place at Loowit Brewery on Dec. 4, (First Friday) from 6 to 8 p.m. Following the presentation will be a discussion of the film content, specifically focussing how significant an impact nutrition can have on individuals who are hungry and malnourished. Light refreshments will be served. The viewing, discussion, and refreshments are of no cost and open to the public.

The next Southwest Washington Regional Transportation Council (RTC) board of directors meeting will be held at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 1, in the Sixth floor Training Room of the Clark County Public Service Center, 1200 Franklin St. in Vancouver. Copies of the agenda are available here. Materials will also be available at the meeting. For more information, contact the RTC at meetings@rtc.wa.gov or visit www.rtc.wa.gov and click on “Board of Directors” under the “Information” tab.

RSV Building Solutions, the region’s leading Design Build construction contractor, has donated $10,170 to FISH of Vancouver in support of the organization’s capital campaign. The check was presented on behalf of RSV and its subcontractors and suppliers.

“We’re honored to have helped FISH of Vancouver pursue a larger space and to be part of this important non-profit resource that does so much for those in need,” says Debbie Marcoulier, President and CEO of RSV Building Solutions.

RSV recently completed remodeling on the new home for FISH of Vancouver’s Westside Food Pantry at 906 Harney in downtown Vancouver. It became operational in early November.

FISH of Vancouver is one of the largest food pantries serving hungry families and individuals in Vancouver. It has operated for more than 45 years from a small rented space in St. Paul Lutheran Church, where volunteers distribute approximately 600,000 pounds of food to thousands of families each year. More information about FISH and the capital campaign is at www.fishvancouver.org.
