CITY MANAGER REPORT

City Manager Tritsch gave an update about Giving Tuesday, which is the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Last month Council decided to give $10,000 of their own funds to support food insecurity and donations were matched by the community.  Tigard residents made a big impact during the fall leaf drop-off and food drive. The next dates are December 6 and 13 so there is still time to participate. The Tigard Youth Advisory Council collected over 300 pounds of clothing for Just Compassion and city employees collected non-perishable food items. The Tigard Public Library’s Basic Needs Bookshelf is stocking up for winter with a drive for shelf-stable food snacks, new hats, gloves and hand warmers. Drop off items on Fridays between 10-noon or donate online using the Basic Needs Bookshelf Amazon wish list.
