■Several students got dirty
with Food for Lane County
to help hungry families

Squishing cow manure and
mixing dirt may not sound like the
most ideal weekend activity for
many students.
But on Saturday, about 20 OS
PIRG members and volunteers did
just that during the group’s annual
“Hunger Cleanup.”
The group journeyed to a garden
where Food for Lane County
grows organic produce for needy
families. Volunteers did every
thing from removing weeds to
dealing with compost — all to
help Food for Lane County feed
more people.
Freshman political science ma
jor Jake Lorber said the garden
plays an important part in helping
Food for Lane County provide a
more well-rounded diet.
“They collect a lot of canned
food [and] a big problem is a lot of
these people — the families —
don’t get enough produce,” Lorber
said. “The farm gets them really
fresh produce.”
About a week ago, vandals
broke into the garden’s greenhouse
and destroyed all the starters,
which are seedlings that grow un
til they can be transferred outside,
Lorber said. For much of the three
hours they spent at the garden,
volunteers mixed different kinds
of dirt together and “re-bagged” it
so Food for Lane County can start
over again as soon as possible.
During that process, Lorber said,
the volunteers found some sur
prises in the grating used to mix
the dirt.
“We had to pick little worms
out, and that was kind of fun,”
Lorber said. “They didn’t stink or
anything, [but] we had to try to
save them all.”
Junior general science major
Stephanie Relling said despite all
the weeding and dirt mixing, she
had a good time. It was fun to
meet people, she said, who were
not only from the University, but
from Lane Community College
and the greater community as
well.
“They’re really into it,” Relling
said. “And it’s really great to see
people coming together to help
each other out.”
