Loaves & Fishes Centers kicked off its 40th year at a special event at the Lincoln Street Methodist Church on Feb. 18, 2010. The first Meals-On-Wheels were delivered from this location in February 1970. Thanks to all who attended, including Portland Mayor Sam Adams, Vancouver Mayor Tim Leavitt, Battle Ground Mayor Mike Ciraulo, Tigard Mayor Craig Dirksen, Portland City Commissioners Nick Fish and Dan Saltzman and Oregon Gubernatorial Candidate Bill Bradbury. Special thanks to Raleigh Hills New Seasons for donating the giant loaf of bread!
