Editor's Notebook: Feed My Starving Children Operation Coming to Skyview, Bergen Plaza Caribou in Planning Stage

Student and community volunteers will help pack meals over three days in May.

 

Feed My Starving Children Operation Coming: School District 622 students and community volunteers will pack enough meals for about 1,000 people to eat for a year during a three-day event in late May. A Feed My Starving Children operation will be set up in the gymnasiums for SCOOP. The event is being organized through a nonprofit organization called The Parable Fund. Volunteers can start signing up to pack meals in early March. Check back for a story about the event on Oakdale Patch in a few weeks.

Bergen Plaza Caribou in the Planning Stages: A representative from Caribou Coffee confirmed that the company is working with the City of Oakdale on plans for a location with a drive-through at the site of the former Blockbuster Video in Bergen Plaza. It’s still premature to officially announce that the store is coming because important details still need to be worked out, she said, but she’s hoping plans will be finalized within 30 to 50 days.
