Thank You for Taking Part in Food for Fines!
|
Our second annual Food for Fines program was a great success thanks to YOU! Over the course of a week we collected nearly 1,000 pounds of food and waived $1,100 in fines. We were thrilled to take 25 boxes of food to NeighborImpact for their Food Bank. Great things happen when we work together. Thank you, Central Oregon!
