Meals on Wheels has stopped operating in downtown Portland as its frustrated bosses say they can’t keep staff safe in the crime-ridden city.
The charity said this week it is closing its two facilities in the city, with frustrated Meals on Wheels Chief Executive Officer Suzanne Washington telling reporters it was a ‘long time coming.’
Washington lamented a lack of action to curb crime as the reason for the decision, which brought the charity’s 20-year stay at its popular Elm Court location to a close.
