“How many years did you work before you got sick?” KATU asked.
“30,” she said.
“Did you ever think you would be standing in line to get food?”
“No, ma’am. Absolutely not.” #Portland #StJohnsFoodShare katu.com/news/city-in...

An image of tomatoes has a text panel over it that reads "St Johns Food Share supplements individual and family food supplies so they can spend their resources on other essentials like healthcare, transporation, housing, childcare and JOY"
It's about the food. But it's not JUST about the food.

It's fun seeing the seasonality of the fresh ingredients we have available... we've been seeing lots of soups and stews to wrap up our cool and rainy season. What's been your wintery comfort food of choice this season?

Green background with black and white text saying Did you know that 98% of food we can't distribute at the Food Share goes to local pigs who see out waste as tasty treats? Food waste makes up nearly half of global food systems emissions. So we're not only feeding community pigs included but we're fighting the climate crisis too
Good the community, the earth *and* local piggies 🐷
