Fraught scene over discarded food at Portland Fred Meyer highlights hunger, challenges of distribution in storm
Safeway, Albertsons and Whole Foods didn’t respond to requests for comment from The Oregonian/OregonLive.
The fraught situation at the Hollywood Fred Meyer brought home that people are going hungry in Oregon.
At Portland Public Schools, nutrition services staffers normally provide grab-and-go meals for neighborhood children on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. But those distributions were canceled Friday due to snow and Monday for President’s Day, leaving families that count on those meals short. Beaumont Middle School, one of the district’s meal sites, is about two miles northeast of the Hollywood Fred Meyer.
With power outages continuing to plague much of the Portland area, Fred Meyer employees were dumping out perishable food leading to a confrontation when a group of people tried to collect the food.
