Hunger continues to be an issue in Oregon. The Oregon Food Bank has been fighting hunger statewide for more than 30 years. Last year, the Oregon Food Bank statewide network of regional food banks distributed more than 44.2-million pounds of food, including 1 million emergency food boxes and 3.9-million emergency meals that were served at soup kitchens and shelters. Thirty four percent of those receiving emergency food are children. In addition to providing food to those in need, the Oregon Food Bank works to eliminate the root causes of hunger through advocacy, nutrition education, garden education, and through working with communities to strengthen local food systems. Your donation to the Oregon Food Bank will make a positive impact to many in our community. For more information about the Oregon Food Bank and their programs go to oregonfoodbank.org. Your donation can make an impact on someone this season.

Drop donations off through December 31 at Skyline Memorial Gardens, 4101 NW Skyline Blvd, Portland, OR 97229 (gift cards may be mailed) or call 503-292-6611 for pick-up.

Great Toy Drive with TVFR

November 10 through December 24, TVFR stations

Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue firefighters are dedicated to responding to the fire and emergency medical needs of the community at a moment’s notice. This holiday season, firefighters are asking community members to help them come through for less-fortunate children as well.

For more than three decades, the KGW Great Toy Drive has provided hundreds of thousands of toys to our community’s less-fortunate families in Oregon and Southwest Washington. The toys collected during the toy drive are distributed to needy kids in our area with the help of more than 130 local nonprofit organizations and hundreds of dedicated volunteers.

Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue is joining more than 400 local organizations as a partner in KGW’s Great Toy Drive. All TVF&R fire stations will begin accepting new, unwrapped toys for children of all ages beginning November 10 through December 24.

With the help of generous community members, TVF&R volunteer firefighters were able to fill a fire engine and box truck full of toys to deliver to the KGW studios last December. This year, the need continues to be great, and firefighters hope to exceed last year’s collection effort.

Cedar Mill residents can drop off any new, unwrapped toys at their local TVF&R fire stations:

Bethany Station 68, 13545 NW Evergreen St.

Butner Road Station 61, 13730 SW Butner Road.

Somerset Station 64, 3355 NW 185th Ave.

All toys donated by December 15 will be donated to the KGW Great Toy Drive. Any toys collected after that date will be taken to the Washington County Girl Scout Christmas Breakfast for the Homeless on Christmas morning to be distributed to Washington County children who attend the breakfast with their families. Oregon has the fifth highest percentage of homeless children, with more than 38,000 kids considered homeless in the state.

Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue knows that they serve a generous, compassionate community. For a complete list of TVF&R fire stations, visit tvfr.com.
