Thank you to the more than 60 Timbers Army volunteers who went to Oregon Food Bank on Saturday; after a mere two hours we had helped to pack and sort roughly 30,000 pounds of food, which will go into emergency boxes and to the people most in need. Two hours of your time helped get food to literally hundreds of people who otherwise might not be able to feed themselves.

It hurts to know that Oregon is among the top five states in the nation in hunger and #1 overall in childhood hunger (that's #1 as in last place), but it's an amazing feeling to know so many people who are willing to help.

If you missed this time and want to volunteer with future TA @ OFB days, send us an email to get on our mailing list. We'll have another outing sometime probably early November. In addition to directly helping people it's a lot of fun and a great way to bond with your fellow TA and SPREAD THE LOVE.
