I want to thank everyone who joined us for our bi-monthly member meeting. It was the largest attendance to one of our meetings since before Covid. We were able to talk through issues together as a group to find solutions that will benefit all of is and just make our group stronger.
I want to discuss few items.
The first is the return of cans and bottles. We ask that everyone that wants to donate bottles and cans to bring them to the site and be prepared to empty your donation into one of the blue bags at the site.
If a household chooses to participate, they will receive 1/2 of volunteer time up to 2 hours per month. The household that returns the bag may receive 1 hour for this volunteer time.
Another item that recently came up is shopping on a day that is not a distribution. Linn-Benton Foodshare only allows shopping on designated distribution days.
Lastly, I understand that life can sometimes be stressful and can make us not react as kindly as we normally would do. I ask that we continue to make this a safe spot and think before we react if it is possible.
I continue to be humbled by the goodness of our members.
Thank you
Patty
