Pear Time!


When the pear harvest calls, Return Serve answers. September 29, we did our third repack with the Oregon Food Bank.
This time, it's wasn't assorted, donated non-perishables of all shapes and sizes, it was just pears. Lots and lots of pears. We arrived to find many, many large boxes of pears, about thigh high. We dove in and put pears into 10 pound bags to be distributed to individual families. As always it was a fast-paced fun time.

We love the thought of the fresh fruit getting out to people all over the region - the group of volunteers there that night bagged 14,291 pounds of pears!
