Hello all,

From 10:30-11:30AM, this Wednesday, April 8, more than 250 free boxes of food will be available for members of our community to pick up at Cherry Park Elementary, 1930 SE 104th Ave.

These boxes are provided by Urban Gleaners, which saves food from restaurants and grocery stores before it spoils and is thrown into the garbage. Therefore, it is possible that some products are at or just beyond their expiration date, but still should be good to eat.

Please check it out and share with other folks as well. Thank you.
