The Oregon Youth Basketball League (OYBL) Food Drive held earlier this year is a great example of community service.
On behalf of the Oregon/Brooklyn Food Pantry Committee and the families it serves, I am writing to acknowledge the generous donations of nonperishable food items and money collected during this event.
Through coordination of volunteers at the Pantry and at OYBL, we were able to fill your Pantry’s shelves and provide healthy, nutritious meals for our neighbors. In particular, thank you to the leaders of the basketball league for their efforts in continuing to lead the Food Pantry donation project. We also want to recognize the support of the OYBL Directors.
We would not have been able to manage the deluge of donations without the hard work of the tournament’s high school student volunteers who not only helped sort the donated food but also distributed the prizes.
We are also grateful for support from community businesses donating to the OYBL Food Drive.
We sincerely appreciate the involvement of OYBL coaches, players and parents in providing donations to our pantry and are proud for the opportunity to share this example of the community support we have in Oregon.
A complete list of those who helped with this project can be found at OBFP.org.
Sincere thanks to all involved!
