This giving is from you and me. It's from us. It's a program that touches people. The volunteers and all the employees were very generous. More than 4,525 pounds of food were collected.
Every dollar buys six pounds of food.
At least 85 employees volunteered to help in the collection and coordination of the food and cash donations. John Kane, who spearheaded OHSU's Community Food Drive, surveys donations. The School of Medicine's Dean's Office is the winner of the pizza party competition. They brought in an average donation per department employee of 190 pounds of food. Welt posted a series of flyers about the food drive in bathroom stalls and sent e-mails almost daily to her fellow employees.
