An Invitation to Breakfast

For those who live in the greater Portland, OR, area, I am inviting you to breakfast on March 30 to hear about our work in the Northeast Emergency Food Program.  Among those sharing will be a couple of our clients, one of which I highlighted in the previous post.  

This event, our 1st Annual Sustainers Breakfast, will be held at the Grace Memorial Episcopal Church, 1535f NE 17th Avenue, Portland, 7:30-8:30 am.  We'll also be hearing from Patti Whitney-Wise of the Oregon Hunger Task Force, and the band, "Homemade Jam."  John Elizalde, our former program director, will MC. 

Jeni Broussard, my assistant, is arranging some great displays to emphasize our theme "Spreading the Net."  Our goal is to expand what is already a great network to keep up with the need - we gave half a million pounds of food to 11,000 people last year.

Consider hosting a table of your friends, coworkers, or church members.  Email Chris Siems at csiems@emoregon.com or call him at 503-221-1054 to reserve a seat.
