"Independence from Hunger"
July 1-30 @ The Dalles Grocery Outlet

Grocery Outlet invites you to:

Independence

from Hunger

July 1-30, 2011

The Dalles Grocery Outlet is hosting a month long Food Drive titled: Independence from Hunger.

We'll be collecting food donations and cash to buy food for our local/regional food bank. 100% of all collections will be given August 2nd to Mid-Columbia Community Action which is our regional Food Bank for Wasco, Hood River, and Sherman counties.

Summer months are actually a time of need for low income families...as the kids are not in school and are eating more from home. We are asking local business owners/managers and agencies to join with us in our campaign to fight hunger and to help make a contribution to this food drive.
