Members of the Oregon Farm Bureau visited both Portland Ronald McDonald Houses on Monday to donate more than $800 in food and groceries. The donation was part of the Farm Bureau’s “Food Check-Out Week,” an effort to help consumers learn how to shop effectively, and put more nutritious meals on the table with fewer dollars.
Each family at the Ronald McDonald House is able to store their own private groceries, but can also use donations like the Farm Bureau’s to help save on money while their child is in the hospital. Donations like the Farm Bureau’s also mean that families from outside the Portland area don’t need to worry about grocery shopping in an unfamiliar city while their child is receiving treatment.
