Public Service Announcement: New stove needed for Belmont area (Portland, Oregon) Loaves & Fishes Centers
UPDATE (March 21, 2005): Thanks to all those who participated, the goal has been reached. Nice work.ORIGINAL POST
This request was so well done, I had to share it. It even has a graph online that tracks the progress of the campaign. Nice nice nice. So nice in fact, that I was motivated to ask you to consider helping by donating to this worthy cause.
The situation
The Belmont (Portland, Oregon) Loaves & Fishes Center is in desperate need of a new stove for their kitchen. Each day this busy center serves 80 seniors on site and 170 through Meals-On-Wheels delivery. Belmont is also home to our Weekend Meal Program, ensuring that seniors who have no other resources for obtaining food do not go hungry on the weekends. Its current stove is 15 years old, out of commission and beyond repair.
With your support we can raise $1,738 to purchase a new stove for this active center. The Southbend 400 Series Restaurant Range features fast cast iron top burners, saving fuel and speeding service. More importantly, the stove will allow the Belmont Loaves & Fishes Center to make the noontime meal even more inviting for on site diners with scratch-prepared pies, ethnic meal options and more.
Make an investment in this growing center by contributing online today. 100% of your donation will go to the purchase of a new stove for the Belmont Loaves & Fishes Center. And because every donation will be critical in reaching our goal, we invite you to track the campaign's progress.
