The Metro Services Team is always looking for more ways to engage our partners, and the New Year is a new opportunity to connect with all of you!

This Tuesday, January 6, at 10 a.m. will be our next Monthly Metro Office Hours series, a low-key, low-barrier hour for agencies to bring any questions, concerns, or wonderings to OFB staff, and to just be in community together! Join us.

This January will be our next Quarterly Partner Gathering. The distinct county meetings will be consolidated into a single meeting that rotates through the counties each quarter, and will be hybrid to allow for more partner participation. Our next gathering will be on Thursday, January 22, 1 - 2:30 p.m. at the Oregon Food Bank. We hope to see you there!

Finally, we will be starting up Quarterly PA Orientations! This is an opportunity for any new coordinators or staff at our partners to learn about our work, how to use our reporting and ordering system, food safety and civil rights, and much more. Our first orientation will be on Tuesday February 10, 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. - join us!
