October 2009--Feed the Need: Help eliminate hunger in Douglas & Josephine Counties
Our Roseburg branches are collecting food for United Community Action Network
“UCAN,” which serves the hungry in Douglas and Josephine counties. Last year we
collected 857 pounds of food for UCAN, thanks to your help. This year, we need your
help again. We want to reach and exceed our goal of collecting 1100 pounds of food
during our “Feed the Need” food drive.
If you can help us, you may drop off your donation of non-perishable
food items at either of our Roseburg area branches from October 14, 2009 to November
20, 2009:
