A shared birthday present helps people who need food

Trevor, 8, stands by the food he collected at his birthday party.

Trevor Thibert celebrated his 8th birthday by inviting his friends to bring canned and packaged food to his birthday party instead of presents. He then donated this birthday present of 245 and 1/2 pounds of food to Linn Benton Food Share. He knows because he weighed all of the food on the family scale.

Linn Benton Food Share, a program of Community Services Consortium, was pleased to get the food, and it will be trucked to the Linn Benton Food Share's warehouse in Tangent, sorted and distributed along with thousands of pounds of food to help people who need food in Linn and Benton counties.
