You've heard us say it before: Rockwood in Gresham is one of the poorest neighborhoods in the greater Portland area. And with that poverty comes hunger. Food issues in Rockwood are a major growing concern.
Are you concerned about the availability and distribution of food in Gresham? Do you belong to a congregation and you see the need but aren't sure what to do about it? Then please join us at the Rockwood Community Food Assessment.
It will be held Friday November 16 from 3 to 4:30at the Rockwood First United Methodist Church, 17805 SE Stark St., Gresham. We will discuss what different congregations understand to be food issues, the results of a 230 person survey of the neighborhood, and discussions of what can be done to help.
If you are interested in coming, please RSVP by calling 503-221-1054 ext. 210.
