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.
'I can’t keep our staff safe and our volunteers safe because
there’s always something happening,' she said, per KION.
'We’ve been threatened with knives, and fires have been set.
It was time to close.'
