Members Service Day at Oregon Food Bank

Members of the SAG-AFTRA Portland Local returned to the Oregon Food Bank on June 13, where they blasted last years total, processing more than eight tons of food for the state's hungry and food deprived.

"It's tragic to think of folks going hungry in a nation as wealthy as ours. But our union members are essentially day laborers and they get it. Imagine how hearts soared at shift's end, when notified that each volunteer had basically produced a meal a day for a hungry person for an entire year," said Portland Local President Duane Hanson. "We've prioritized community service in Portland and plan to make service at Oregon Food Bank an annual event."
