     76th OREGON LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY--2011 Regular Session

                            Enrolled

                 House Concurrent Resolution 36

Sponsored by Representatives BUCKLEY, ESQUIVEL, Senator BATES

  Whereas a small group of Ashland residents formed the Ashland
Food Project, a door-to-door food collection association, in
January 2009, to collect donations for the Ashland Emergency Food
Bank; and
  Whereas 140 neighborhood coordinators collect food from 2,170
households, which represents 24 percent of Ashland; and
  Whereas the Ashland Food Project has delivered approximately
191,000 pounds of food to the Ashland Emergency Food Bank since
June 22, 2009, the project's first day of collecting food; and
  Whereas the Ashland Food Project currently collects about
20,000 pounds of food every two months; and
  Whereas Talent and Medford have created food projects similar
to the Ashland Food Project; and
  Whereas the newly formed Medford Food Project has collected
22,700 pounds of food in just two days of collecting donations
and already has more than 1,000 food donors and 100 neighborhood
coordinators; and
  Whereas the food collected by the Medford Food Project is
divided evenly among 22 food banks and food pantries in the City
of Medford; and
  Whereas Paradise, California, and Olympia, Washington, are
creating food projects similar to the Ashland, Talent and Medford
Food Projects; and
  Whereas the Ashland, Talent and Medford Food Projects provide a
model for other communities to use to easily implement a food
project; and
  Whereas the Ashland, Talent and Medford Food Projects have
already achieved the three goals that those projects had set for
themselves: to provide a regular supply of food to hungry
neighbors all year, to create new neighborhood connections and
strengthen the community and to serve as models by which other
communities may implement food projects; now, therefore,

Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of
  Oregon:

  That we, the members of the Seventy-sixth Legislative Assembly,
recognize, honor and celebrate the achievements of the Ashland,
Talent and Medford Food Projects and their neighborhood
coordinators, volunteers and donors; and be it further
  Resolved, That copies of this resolution shall be presented to
the Ashland Food Project, the Talent Food Project and the Medford
Food Project as an expression of our appreciation.
