This food drive will take place at the Hollywood Grocery Outlet at 4420 NE Hancock St., Portland, OR 97213. The Lions will collect sealed nonperishable food items, including pet food and will also welcome donations of used eyeglasses and hearing aids. Any cash donations will directly support the Hollywood Senior Center - Community for Positive Aging. The high cost of food, gas, util- ities, medical care and rent contin- ue to plague people in Portland. 1 in 5 residents of Oregon suffer food insecurity. Hunger affects children and families, and espe- cially seniors who can be more isolated than other community members. The Hollywood Senior The Hollywood Lion Delivers Food Center is a not for profit commit- ted to enriching the lives of adults 55 and older by creating opportu- nities for social connection, health and wellness, independence and life-long learning. The Hollywood Senior Center is committed to pro- viding services, education, infor- mation and recreation for seniors, families and caregivers in Mult- nomah County and particularly in their Hollywood neighborhood. Often, seniors keep pets for emotional support and to stave off loneliness. These fur- ry friends suffer from the same food insecurity as their senior friends, so sealed, new pet food will also be welcomed by the Hollywood Lions. The Hollywood Lions Club, celebrating its 94th anniversary this year, is committed to service in its community and beyond, in- cluding a long relationship with the Hollywood Senior Center, with Lions on the HSC Board of Directors and more. The Holly- wood Lions know that “where there’s a need, there’s a Lion”. New Public Charter School for BIPOC Students After more than a year of preparation HOLLA School, a public charter school sponsored by Reynolds School District is now open! They are located in the heart of Rockwood, and celebrate that their staff and students reflect and represent the vibrant diversity found in the neighborhood. Since the beginning of the in- stitution of education, commu- nities of color have struggled to have their brilliance and capaci- ties fully acknowledged and ac- cepted. At HOLLA School, they interrupt the systematic exclusion of students of color from academ- ic success by challenging domi- nant norms and centering the racial, cultural, linguistic and an- cestral realities of Black, Brown and Indigenous youth, families and staff. Through the intention- al honoring and development of identity, skills, intellect, critical- ity and joy, they hold space for maximizing opportunities for ex- pressions of brilliance for all. Photo courtesy of hollaschool.org HOLLA School is already see- ing students embody and grow their abundance, brilliance, and creativity- the ABC’s of HOLLA School. Students are exploring their interests, making friends and building relationships with their teachers and classroom mentors, and focusing on a new one-word concept each week that invites them to learn and grow as a community. It truly takes a village to care for our children, and HOLLA School is proud to be part of that village
