Meet CGFB’s New Truck!
Meet CGFB’s New Truck!
CGFB’s new refrigerated truck will be hitting the road this summer. The 2023 Freightliner – equipped with a 24-foot box, Cold Kind reefer unit and Maxon lift gate – will enable us to better serve the entire region, pick up donations and deliver to our rural community partners. In the words of Sharon Thornberry, CGFB Manager, “It will be the perfect compliment to our new warehouse and community food center!”
The truck features photos of Gorge scenery and longtime Windy River Gleaners volunteer and beloved community member, Virginia McKay, in celebration of her labor and all of the community partners who make our work possible.

This new addition to CGFB’s growing fleet was made possible thanks to a generous $100,000 grant from the Roundhouse Foundation with additional support from the Concordia Foundation.
To welcome the new truck to the Gorge, we are hosting a scavenger hunt! Spot the truck at any delivery stop, snap a photo and send it to us for a chance to win a fabulous local food prize or gift certificate to Beachwood Eatery in The Dalles.
To enter, tag @columbiagorgefoodbank on Instagram or Facebook, or email the photo to gorge@oregonfoodbank.org. The winner will be chosen at random and announced in our next newsletter!
