Shoals Technologies Group had a ribbon cutting at their new “Mega Shoals” facility this morning. We are overwhelmed at their commitment to the Portland community and especially their generous commitment to us! Thank you for a $20,000 donation that helps fund our summer meal program (which kicks off this Saturday!), holiday meals and a new program later this year - winter meals for kids during the Christmas/New Year break. We enjoyed the morning touring the new facility and meeting so many Shoals team members that believe in what we’re doing to feed our community. 💜 Thank you, thank you, thank you!
