Shop Managers Dave and Brian donated turkeys at Snowcap Community Charities, where a staff member explained that food pantries are not often able to get turkeys and other special holiday items from the Oregon Food Bank.
Eileen DiCicco, Development Associate at the Marion- Polk Food Share said “Thank you to Kadel’s for providing these turkeys for the ever increasing need that we see every day, thank you.” She continued by saying that they were experiencing the lowest inventory of food for local people in the past 15 months and the need for food is up 13% this quarter, which translates into a very high need.
Turkeys were also donated to the Clark County Food Bank in Vancouver, WA, the Good Samaritan Center of North Portland, the Marion County Food Bank in Salem, the Salem Evangelical Church in Salem, the Salvation Army Food Bank in Eugene, OR the Salvation Army Food Bank in Springfield, OR and to another Eugene, OR organization called the Lamplighters, who support families of children with cancer. St. Anthony’s Food Pantry in Tigard, OR requested a cash donation instead for turkeys to serve Thanksgiving dinner to the people they support.
