Benefiting

Thank you to all those who participated in this year's 2006 Portland-Salem Metro-Wide 6th Annual Great Holiday Food Drive. The 6th Annual Event was a great success in raising food and awareness for Oregon Food Bank and the Marion Polk Food Share. In total, the equivalent of 9,996 lbs of food was raised during the two week event! This total comes from food and monetary donations together.

This is an excellent feat and we express our sincere thanks to all those who participated and donated this year to help fight hunger in Oregon.

The following are the Raffle Prize Winners for the 6th Annual Great Holiday Food Drive:
