🍎How ‘bout them apples?!🍎

Patients and staff volunteered this past week to harvest apples from the OSH Junction City campus’ small orchard in partnership with a local gleaning group, Fern Ridge Connection Gleaners.
The apples were donated to support food boxes for local families through Food for Lane County. 🫶🏾

A round of apple-ause 👏🏻 for the Junction City campus for their commitment to community service! To read the full story, visit https://ow.ly/bAQI50ZPmJv.
