Anticipated produce & donations - week of 5/4
Weekly update on incoming donations!
Anticipated Produce Loads - please see key below for interpretation
Greetings friends!
It’s getting warm out there! Gardens all over Portland and around the state are starting to pop off and the pollen is definitely trying to ruin my life but hopefully not yours. Citrus season is on the downward slope and will be wrapping up soon. But we’re not there quite yet! We have three loads incoming next week and will hopefully have another few weeks of the sunshine fruit.
The unexpected and unwelcome hot weather that hit much of California in March pushed the stone fruit crops forward by a few weeks. CA cherries are starting to appear on grocery store shelves and peaches, plums and nectarines will soon follow. I’ll keep my eyes peeled to see if there are any interesting offers worth pursuing. I’m also starting to see more summer veggie crops like melons, cucumbers, eggplants and summer squash listed. If the price and quality is right I’ll see if we can bring in some more variety.
Be well and bon appetit! Your friend, produce kim

Anticipated Loads - please see key below for interpretation
Received last week for FTB:
| Ordered last week for FTB:

| Key: PS = Purchased Staples: product purchased with state funding and distributed free of charge. FTB = Food to Buy: product purchased by OFB usually by the truckload and sold to RFBs and agencies by the case at our cost. Statewide = load is divided between regional food banks - Metro and West will receive a portion of this load | |
Please remember these are expected truckloads coming to the OFB warehouse this week. Reminder: It will take a few days for items to appear in inventory depending on when the loads are received into the warehouse. Food is first received into the Statewide warehouse and then must be transformed/moved to the Metro and West warehouses, including a delivery to West. These are estimates on what you can likely expect to see in the coming days/weeks, not when you will see them. Please reach out to the Metro Team (MWCS@oregonfoodbank.org) with questions, not the Operations Team. Thank you!
