The Tualatin Kiwanis did the Fred Meyer trips
We picked up, transported, weighed and re-packaged 9,746 pounds of food in the month of July!

By Frank Morehouse Packed with Pride is a club project that was suggested by Ken Barker, and then accepted by the Board. Ken wanted to get involved with supporting local school projects, and PWP met this goal. PWP is good for our Kiwanis club, as it draws the members to the project; and it is successful because Kiwanians are contributing considerable time and effort. PWP was important to bring the club members together during the times when COVID restrictions limited the meetings to ZOOM. And, now that it has taken off, with about a dozen members involved, it has become even more important to our club’s program! Besides the benefit of giving our members an on-going project to support, Packed With Pride is very visible with the Tigard Schools. Hopefully, this will assist the club’s efforts to gain permission to support the schools in future activities.
Packed with Pride is creating approximately 850 food boxes every week! When school is in session, 5,100 meals are served on the “free and reduced meal program” every day. In this past year, with schools closed and without PWP, where would they go for their needs?
