Over 80 Timbers Army members volunteered at the Oregon Food Bank on Saturday morning, and a great time was had by all, young and old. We packed snap peas and pasta, to the tune of more than 14,000 pounds; which means that each volunteer was responsible for packing roughly 500 servings of food that will benefit those in need, and all in only two hours of work.

This was the second time we’ve had an organized TA day at the Food Bank, and we had big groups at both the Portland and Beaverton locations. We’ll have these outings roughly every three months from now on, with our next coming sometime in December. Watch this space for further details, and if you’d like to receive updates about future dates, email me at Lucas.Grzybowski@107ist.org and I’ll add you to the list.
Two hours of your time can help bring food to hundreds of hungry people, so thanks again to everyone who volunteered, and thanks to Oregon Food Bank for making it so easy to help.
Awesome. Thanks Lucas and OFB for a great opportunity.
Thanks again to everyone who volunteered. A big thanks to all those who helped with passing fliers out as well.
This was great! I have been on the receiving end once or twice out of need and necessity. It felt really good to be able to give back to those who helped me.
An unbelievably fun time doing good works. Can’t wait for the next group effort, and expect to try to volunteer individually before then.
T’was a good time. We accomplished lots of work, put in some sweat equity (but not in the food) and helped to package up some food for hungry Oregonians.
Looking forward to next time. Onward, Rose City.
