The Wine and Brew Tast- ing event raises money for the club’s Feed the Child project. The program, which sends home backpacks of food with needy children, started during the 2008-09 school year. Longtime Altrusan Pat McClintock heard about ele- mentary school students who were returning to classrooms each Monday tired and hadn’t eaten much over the weekend. It tugged at her heart. When she heard about a weekend food distribution program in Hermiston, she rallied support from her fellow Altrusans, sent out donation letters re- questing assistance and got a similar program going in Pendleton. Jan Loughary, who now coordinates the program, said it’s run entirely by volunteers and all money donated to the project goes to purchasing food to be sent home with EO file photo Susan Koch and Lisa Irwin prepare to sample wine during a past Altrusa International of Pendleton fund- raiser for its Feed the Child project.
