Faith Cafe's 'procurement specialist' displays food donated by local grocers to Faith Cafe, which hosts nutritious hot meals for working poor and homeless families every Sunday and gives food to guests to take home to supplement the rest of their meals for the week. A $15,000 grant from Meyer Memorial Trust enabled the organization to hire its first paid staff. Requests for food aid grew more rapidly in Washington County than any other county in Oregon during 2009.  Photo credit: Barb Upson
