Tips offered on food bank donations
Many Oregonians need
emergency food assistance to
ward off hunger when money is
short. Many food banks and
pantries welcome food donations
from the public. Before giving,
check to find out what type of
foods are needed, advises Carol
Michael, Oregon State University
Extension home economist in
Morrow and Umatilla counties.
Give foods that are the quality
that you yourself would eat.
Don't use food banks as a
"dumping ground" for inferior
products that may be unsafe or
inedible.
If you're donating canned
foods, examine them first for
potential food safety problems.
Tin cans shouldn't be swollen,
rusted or leaking.
There
shouldn't be dents on seams or
where sides and ends meet.
If you’ve stored the cans for
more that one year (particularly
if the storage area was warm),
the quality (such as color,
nutritive value) may not be as
good. If cans have been through
a flood or fire, it's probably
advisable to discard them.
Packaged foods should be
intact and sealed.

Emergency Management gets global positioning
The Oregon State Department
of Energy has provided Morrow
and Umatilla County Emergency
Management with a state-of-the-
art global positioning system
(GPS) and lap-top computer
mapping systems to assist in
responding to a radiological
emergency. The equipment is
part of an ongoing effort by the
State Department of Energy and
Oregon Health Division to
upgrade
local
radiological
response
capabilities
with
equipment,
training,
and
readiness exercises.
The GPS and mapping system
will allow local response
personnel to accurately plot

your freezer is something that
you wouldn't eat because of
freezer bum or long term storage,
why expect someone else to eat
it?
Frozen food that has at some
point
thawed
to
room
temperature may not be safe to
eat. If the food hasn't been
packaged in freezer paper bags,
the quality may be poor.
If there's any question about the
safety of quality of a food you're
thinking about donating, throw it
out. Foodbome illness is a
hardship for people on limited

"It is another example of the

in
