Shopping Cart Distribution
We still have nine shopping carts that we are looking to distribute to the network. These are donations from Wal*mart and are in good condition. They would be useful to any pantry that needs help moving the heavy sacks or boxes of food that you receive. If you happen to run a shopping style pantry they can be used by clients as they pick out their food; even if you don’t run that kind of pantry they can be used by clients to transport food to their vehicles. If you’re interested in having one or more of these shopping carts please contact Morgan Filbert at mfilbert (at) orcca (dot) us or 541-888-7297.
HVP Food Recall Near an End
OFB has now cleared all products that were being held from distribution in relation to the recent hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) recall.
This recall is winding down, but we still need to continue to monitor our received inventory, and local donations. We’d like to thank everyone for their work during this time. We know it’s not an easy thing to go through all the food you receive and make sure that it’s safe, but as we’re all here to try and help our community, we can all see the importance of doing so.
With the end of this recall, and no report of any salmonella poisoning, we can all be proud that we’ve not only helped to feed our neighbors but helped keep them safe as well.
Thank You.
