Local Market Fights Hunger

C.E. Lovejoys Brookswood Market is trying to make a dent in the local problem of food insecurity. Today they are donating 61 bags of groceries to the Giving Plate in Bend. Store Manager Troy Wolfe says they ran a food drive called "Help Fight Hunger", where customers could donate $10, and Lovejoys would match with a $20  bag of groceries. "This is a great feeling. We always like to do everything we can to help the local community and it was just a great opportunity to be a part of this."  According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture about 500,000 housholds suffer from hunger each day and are classified as "food insecure.”
