Annual Gleaner Appreciation Picnic on August 4th

Linn Benton Food Share (LBFS) will be hosting its 15th Annual Gleaner Appreciation picnic this Sunday, August 4th. The picnic is a way for LBFS to thank donors, gleaners, gleaning group volunteers and other guests for the tireless work that they do to gather food around the state for distribution to Oregon residents in need.

Appreciating gleaners with food, music, and fun
This year's picnic will be extra special, as they will also be celebrating 40 years of organized gleaning in Oregon. Of all the gleaners statewide, LBFS’s program is the largest in the state, with 14 gleaning groups and a total of 7,900 low income members in Linn and Benton counties.

Welcome to CSC's blog and e-newsletter!

These communications tools can be used to make announcements, acknowledge donors and volunteers, post videos and slideshows–whatever we want to share with our online community.

There are 3 ways to deliver info to stakeholders:

  1. The blog itself, which can be linked to our current website
  2. Email news blasts (blog articles sent via email as eNewsletters)
  3. RSS Feed (subscribers read in Google Reader or other feed reader, can also send posts to Facebook and Twitter)
We're excited about these communication tools and look forward to both your input and feedback for continuing improvement and positive information-sharing.

If you have agency/program information you'd like posted on this blog, please send full text and/or photos and videos, ideas, or suggestions to Janet Hessel and she will take the next steps.

Enjoy!
