The Biggest Day of the Year for the Oregon Food Bank
The Oregon Food Bank sent you something in the mail this week and they’re really hoping to get it back. It’s a standard size plastic bag, probably looks a lot like the bag you’d get at a grocery store.
If you could, just put the bag on your porch Saturday and they’ll take it back. Oh, and could you stick a few cans of food in it before stashing it on your stoop? Thanks. That’d be great.
Every year, the Postal Carriers pitch in and schlept (haul) the goods in May. In just one day, they brought in 1.65 million pounds of food last year. This year, they want an even 1.75 million (the higher donations are particularly important this year because of higher demand).
Anything non perishable works, but they really like tuna, canned meats, mac and cheese and fruits / fruit juices. Try to avoid glass jars when you can (they’re heavier and break). For more info click here.
