Your Tuesday evening update on Salem news
Good evening, Salem.
We know it seems grim out there for many people.
Our reporters are committed to covering life in Salem – the hardships, but also the helpers and the joy.
Toward the end of the year, news often slows down a bit and we have time over the holidays to feature some people or organizations doing important work to make our community better. The “news slows down” aspect may be a dream this year, but we’d still like to mark the Thanksgiving season by highlighting some good happening in Salem.
One such recent example – Operation School Bell, a program that provides clothing and food to children in need through local schools, got a donation of more than $20,000 from the Dutch Bros. foundation. The program is run by the Assistance League of Salem-Keizer. The donation came from a day of coffee sales at local Dutch Bros coffee stands, with $1 from every drink purchased donated.
Do you have ideas for good people or works we should feature this holiday season? Send a note to Managing Editor Rachel Alexander at [email protected].
