KEN: GOOD NEWS FOR US.
JENNY: WE ARE GOING TO LIVE FOREVER.
A LOCAL GROCERY CHAIN IS TEAMING UP WITH AREA FOOD BANKS TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE FOR HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN THE PORTLAND AREA THIS SUMMER.
KEN: GROCERY OUTLET IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A MONTH LONG CAMPAIGN.
KOHR HARLAN SHOWS US HOW IT WORKS.
KOHR: AT THE TANNESBORNE GROCERY OUTLET AT 185TH & WALKER ROAD, THIS MORNING, WE SHOWED YOU FOOD BAGS CUSTOMERS CAN PAY FOR.
THE BAGS ARE THEN TAKEN DIRECTLY TO WEST SIDE FOOD BRIGADE, A FOOD BANK THAT SERVES NEARLY 100 FAMILIES IN WASHINGTON COUNTY.
AWARENESS ABOUT PEOPLE IN NEED AND THEIR HUNGER TENDS TO WANE IN THE SUMMER BUT THE DEMAND FOR FOOD DOES NOT.
THE KIDS DON'T HAVE THE SAFETY NET OF THE SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM AT SCHOOLS.
AND WHEN THEY COME THROUGH THE STORE TO BUY THE STUFF FOR THEIR FUN WEEKEND, WE TRY AND PUT THIS STUFF OUT IN FRONT OF CUSTOMERS TO REMIND THEM THAT, HEY, THERE ARE STILL NEEDY PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT NEED YOUR HELP.
KOHR: THE STORE ACCEPTS CASH DONATIONS.
A FIVE-DOLLAR DONATION EARNS YOU A FIVE-DOLLAR STORE CREDIT COUPON REDEEMABLE ON A RETURN VISIT WHEN YOU SPEND $25 OR MORE.
LAST YEAR, THE TANASBOURNE GROCERY OUTLET STORE ALONE RAISED $10,000.
CHAIN WIDE, THE COMPANY IS TRYING TO RAISE A MILLION DOLLARS IN JULY TO SUPPLY FOOD BANKS IN PLACES WHERE GROCERY.
