Embracing the season of giving 💚
Our PTFC staff came together this week, joining hand in hand to help fight hunger with the Oregon Food Bank 🤝
Last week, our Portland office team, along with volunteers from local companies, assisted the Oregon Food Bank by packing 13,587 pounds of food, creating more than 11,000 meals for those in need. It was a privilege to support their mission. ow.ly/jvVT50Q9ZK0
