From March 7-18, the first-floor lobby of the Portland Center will be our collection site for non-perishable food items to support Take Action, Inc. All students, employees and friends are encouraged to participate.
Take Action works with students from five elementary schools in Portland to ensure that underprivileged children have food to eat when they go home on the weekend. This need was observed because many of the kids would load up on their Friday lunch, even trying to stuff their pockets of extra food to take home. Many of the kids at these schools wouldn’t eat again until the school provided breakfast on Monday morning.
The school staff began connecting with folks outside their area to gather food for these kids to take home to feed themselves and sometimes their families over the weekend.
This is where we can help. Below is a sample list of items that you can donate.
If you have questions, please contact Janis Sanford, site supervisor, at jsanford@georgefox.edu.
