Sherm’s Thunderbird Market Donates Semi-Truck Load of Food to Feeding Umpqua

Wanda and Steve Olsrud, owners of Sherm’s Thunderbird Market care about those who are hungry in Douglas County. On January 14th at 11:00 am Steve Olsrud of Sherm’s Thunderbird and Food for Less Markets accompanied one of their semi-trucks as they continue their annual tradition of donating a trailer load of food to Feeding Umpqua, the regional food bank for Douglas County operated by UCAN. This year’s truck weighed in at 30,253 pounds. This amazing tradition began in 2006 and since then over 400,000 pounds of food has been donated. “Sherm’s has been such an incredible partner in the fight against hunger. This valuable donation will support our continued work providing emergency food to our network of 16 emergency food pantries throughout Douglas County, and the patrons they serve,” said Sarah McGregor, Feeding Umpqua’s manager. “Together we are fighting hunger and feeding hope.” Via Feeding Umpqua
