OPHA Holiday Celebrations: Giving and Receiving at FoodShare
OPHA celebrated the Holidays with a day-long party at
FoodShare — one of the most successful food security organizations
in North America. The morning was spent, with staff, volunteering at a variety of
tasks in the FoodShare offices and kitchen. We then enjoyed an
appetizing lunch provided by FoodShare, followed by "Secret Santa" gift exchange festivities. Staff also made a generous donation of cash to FoodShare to help fund activities and supplies.
