To help fight local hunger, Marion-Polk Food Share is casting a wider net that will require air travel to further research low-cost food development alternatives. To fund needed travel, the regional food bank has launched its “Flight Against Hunger” initiative.

Supporters may donate United Airlines Mileage Plus miles to Marion-Polk Food Share so they may be used for critical research trips. These donated miles could help make a difference feeding hungry children, seniors and families. For information or to make a donation, contact Don Mertes at 503-581-3855, ext. 333. Read more.
