Lift Urban Portland's Monthly eNewsletter Dear Neighbor,Our Spring Food and Fund Drive is the time to recognize how our community unites to ensure neighbors in Northwest and Downtown Portland stay nourished. This year our goal is to collect 10,000 pounds of food and $10,000 to provide 38,000 meals to our neighbors. Really, food is just the starting point. Ultimately, it is the community members that inspire their peers to collect food and raise funds; members of the Glean Team who pick up thousands of pounds of healthy food every week; Adopt a Building partners that deliver directly to vulnerable residents; neighbors who staff Preston’s Pantry; and our staff that tirelessly ensure high-quality programs. Through each human interaction, we are fighting more than hunger. We are nourishing the human spirit. We are grateful for all of the support we receive. Every dollar, every can of food, every hour makes a difference. Join us in connecting our neighbors with nourishment! Sincerely, Executive Director P.S.
