Salt Lake to Salem:
Local church helps restock damaged food bank
Keizertimes Staﬀ
On the morning of Sept. 22, a large
semi-truck carrying nearly 40,000
pounds of food arrived from Salt Lake
City at the Marion Polk Food Share in
Salem.
The truck, which contained food and
household supplies donated by The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, was ultimately bound for the
AWARE Food Bank in Woodburn.
The AWARE Food Bank was sig-
niﬁ cantly damaged last month after a
24-year-old man intentionally set ﬁ re to
the AWARE building, damaging a large
portion of the food stored there.
According to Marion Polk Food Share,
“This donation of high-quality, nutritious
food and high-demand household items
will help AWARE restock its shelves and
will provide thousands of meals for our
neighbors in the Woodburn area.”
