The Wiregrass Area Food Bank is a cornerstone of our community. Much of their growth throughout the years is tied to one man. Find out more about what makes David Hanks this month's Silent Hero.
DOTHAN, Ala. - David Hanks has worked with the Wiregrass Area Food Bank since 2000.
For Hanks, numbers come naturally. It was his background in accounting that led him to the food bank. “Food banking is about 2 things: helping those that are at poverty level that are in an emergency, and stopping food from being landfilled,” he explains.“We need to learn as a society to save and put back in your refrigerator for chicken salad or something like that. We’ve got to make sure we do the most we can with what we have,” says Hanks.“The Wiregrass is one of the most generous areas I’ve ever experienced. You don’t see the collaboration in other areas like you do here.
