Hey TransPonder family–let’s eat! TransPonder has partnered with FOOD For Lane County to provide FREE food at our office on THURSDAYS.

🧅 When: Thursdays from 10a to 2p (Check this page for any date changes.)
🥬 Where: The Lavender Network, 440 Maxwell Road, Eugene, OR 97404
🥔 Who: Everyone, all ages 

The food will be picked up by TransPonder team members and volunteers on Thursday morning and displayed on a clean table in our office for people to stop by and pick up until supplies last. Bring containers/boxes/bags for the food you take! Please take however much or little you want for your household, and if you’re curious what’s available that day, you can call and/or email the office on Thursdays after 9:30a.

We’re closed from noon to 1p for lunch, and at 2p, the tables and food will be taken down.
