CLACKAMAS, Ore.—Feb. 23, 2021—Portland Cider Co. has made a donation of $12,500 to Hunger-Free Schools, an initiative of Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon that is committed to actively working to end hunger by connecting people to food and nutrition programs, raising awareness about hunger, and advocating for systemic changes. The money was raised through sales of Portland Cider Co.’s 5th annual PDX Community Cider, which was made from donated edible quality apples, fruits and berries from neighborhoods in the Portland metropolitan area.
“We are incredibly proud to be able to give a sizeable donation to such a worthy cause that is helping so many during a very difficult time,” said Lynda Parrish, Portland Cider Co. CEO. “Our team is grateful to all the community members who annually gather and donate their fallen fruit—it’s because of them that this project is not only possible, but also successful.”
