Dear Cylvia: Thank you for your email. I have attached an application and

our funding guidelines. Our Contribution Committee meets quarterly, with

the next meeting being held in August. I am not sure all members will be

here prior to the next meeting, but I can see if they are able to review

your application electronically prior to that time. We support various

vulnerable children/family programs in Central Oregon and understand the

support needed to fill a primary need of a family - food.



Best of luck with your project. - Mary Jo

Greetings Dick and Mary Jo,



As per my phone message, information on the Summer Food Project is below

and attached.



I am still amazed, and saddened, that Oregon has one of the highest hunger

rates in the nation. More than HALF of all our students live in households

with income levels low enough to qualify for free or reduced cost lunches.

These kids are at grave risk of hunger during the summer when school

lunches are not available. That’s why I am volunteering to help grow

support for the Summer Food Program.

The summer food program helps feed children at schools, parks and community

sites during the summer beak, while also providing activities and a safe

place to go.

Over the past two years mini-grants from Oregon businesses have supported

the Summer Food Program and made sure that many more children are eating

and ready to learn come fall. In 2010, these private donations leveraged

$597,967 in federal funds for meals, a 374% rate of return on the donor’s

original investment.

Unfortunately, rural communities are greatly under-represented in this

important program.

I am working to help raise $50,000 so that many more rural communities can

feed children this summer. I am contacting my friends in the Central and

Southern Oregon business community to help support this important program.

I am inviting (gently arm-twisting) you to consider having Les Schwab make

a $5k donation to the Summer Food for Kids Program. These are hard times

and our neighbors are hurting. I ask you to do what you can to make sure

our kids get enough to eat this summer.



See the attached flyer for 501(c)(3) verification info.

Please let me know what you decide.

If want to call for more detailed information please call Jennifer Lindsay

at 503-595-5501, extension 309, or email her at jennifer@oregonhunger.org

Thank you so much,

Cylvia
