For our second project, members decided that they wanted to expand their outreach and partner with the Oregon Food Bank. MCOG partnered with a local food cart in SW Portland called Peeple's Baking. In the end, our members were able to donate $1,000! At the same time, we also took the time to write letters to seniors as Covid-19 has forced many to be isolated from family and friends.
