We are very excited to announce that 10% of our food sales every Tuesday until Christmas will be going to a local charity. This week, 11/27: Urban Gleaners. As their website describes best:
"Urban Gleaners is a small, Portland-based organization that picks up
edible, surplus food from grocery stores, farmers markets, farms,
restaurants, and event sites and delivers it to local agencies that feed
the hungry. We also deliver large quantities of food to ten elementary
schools throughout Portland metro, where between 70-90% of families are
living below the poverty line. Hunger is less a problem of scarce
resources but rather inefficient distribution. The concept of picking up
and redistributing food is a simple yet powerful weapon in the fight
against hunger."
Cheers to them for all they do for our local community! Cheers to them for combating the 40% food waste in America that was recently reported!
Cheers to you for your support! Eat up!
Next week: Project Access Now, which connects the uninsured to a network of volunteer health care providers.
