NeighborImpact's Food Bank is building a new Food Warehouse! In celebration of the project, NeighborImpact invites you to attend the groundbreaking ceremony at 9 AM on Friday, January 20. NeighborImpact's Food Bank stores and distributes nearly four million pounds of food annually to Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. As the hub of the food distribution network in Central Oregon, it is the primary source of food for nearly 60 pantries and emergency food sites in this region. Even before the sharp increase in hunger due to COVID, the existing 30-year-old warehouse already distributed more pounds of food per square foot than any other food bank in the state's 21-agency food banking network. The new 10,691 square foot warehouse will allow the organization to store roughly 173,300 more pounds of food at any given time. That additional food will provide 138,600 more meals to the fast-growing population of Central Oregonians st
Also, the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile Jr. Foundation has named its next CEO, and two co-directors will guide the new Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions.
On Saturday, the multi-Emmy Award-winning All-Star Orchestra received its 8th and 9th awards at the 64th Annual New York Emmy Awards Ceremony of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
