Bethlehem Inn Hosts Harvest For Hope Food Drive

bethlehem_inn

Bethlehem Inn announced the launch of their Harvest for Hope Food Drive to help fill their urgent need for breakfast and lunch food items. Both Inn locations in Bend and Redmond have an urgent need for food donations in support of the Inn’s Meal Program, which provides a healthy breakfast and lunch for their residents. The following items will help restock the Inn’s pantries: coffee/creamer, cereal and oatmeal, breakfast bars and granola bars, individually packaged lunch snacks, lunch meat, sliced cheese, fruit cups and instant soup cups.

The Inn provides 3 nutritious meals for up to 180 adults and children each day, so food is needed to help meet the increasing demand of the Inn’s shelter services throughout the year and especially during the upcoming cold winter months.

Donations are gladly accepted Monday – Saturday from 9 am – 4 pm at the Inn’s two locations: 20363 Mervin Samples Road in Bend and 517 NW Birch Ave. in Redmond.
