USDA would like to thank all of
the hard workers at both of our
warehouses. We also would like to
thank our clients who jump right in to
lend a helping hand packing boxes for
our elders and other clients. You are
greatly appreciated.
Thank you to our Siletz and Salem
ESP staff for providing workers for both
of our warehouses. The magnitude of
work is here, but the help we receive
makes the load feel a bit lighter.
We would like to wish everyone
Happy Holidays’
