21/10/09 - Portland Harbour Light, OR, USA 10/22/2009

The Salvation Army has several facilities in Portland. We volunteered at the Harbor Light center which caters to Veterans working through drug and alcohol issues. It has a kitchen that serves up three meals a day for the clients staying over. We helped out with preparing and serving the lunch and then Belinda worked on prep for dinner while Roland worked in the basement sorting through produce - what a good sport!

Did you have some goggles for the onion cutting? Maybe you could invest in a pair. I use the kids swimming goggles and yes it does look pretty silly!

Volunteer work with the Salvation Army

Part of what we wish to accomplish over the next year is not only the cycling, but also giving back to the communities which we will pass through.

When we hit a town that has Salvation Army services, we offer our hands-on help for a day or two in the hope of encouraging the regular volunteers and also providing some relief in the volume of work that is demanded of them.

We chose the Salvation Army because they are well respected, give practical help to those that are in need and they are also situated throughout Pan-America.

We feel very priviledged to be associated with this hardworking organisation. We hope that the work we do (albeit small) will be of some worth and also raise awareness of all the good work the Salvation Army does for others.
