the Carpenters and Steelworkers
unions. The Faheys continued coordi-
nating the operation, and today it con-
tinues to serve as many as 700 families
a month out of the Carpenters union
building on the corner of North Lom-
bard Street and Brandon Avenue in
Portland. The food bank is open to the
public.

nephews.
