Raven Packs food nonprofit got a boost from a local memorial fund

- Natalie Wolford

The Robert Fankhauser Memorial Fund recently donated $2,500 to Raven Packs, a nonprofit that distributes food to Ravenna students. 

Donations like this are essential to the organization’s operation, since it runs almost entirely on community support, said its treasurer and operations manager Laura Wunderle. It costs Raven Packs about $50 to serve one student for a year. The organization currently serves 481 students.
