$400 match for the Oregon Food Bank
For the next three hours one of our sponsors is challenging readers to click on our contribution button for the Oregon Food Bank. We've got $400 to match reader contributions through noon. Please brighten somebody's life with a donation for food. Your $1 is worth $2 this morning. No contribution is too small.
UPDATE,11:06 a.m.: We met this match by 11:01 a.m. -- in just a little over two hours! Thank you, everyone. We'll keep taking donations to the Food Bank, as well as to our other five charities, all day.

...and:
-every donation of $1 can buy 3 meals worth of food for someone who is hungry
-94 cents out of every dollar donated to OFB is used directly for food purchase and programming
The OFB Network distributed over 1 million emergency food boxes last year, a 12% increase from the year before...the need out there is unprecedented.
Thanks for the help, Jack - you and your anonymous donor friends ROCK!
