Several Twitter/X users who noticed the post voiced their displeasure in the replies including State Representative Ed Diehl.

Unbelievable that you would post this. You might want to study history yourself.

You make it virtually impossible to support your organization.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving.

Several other replies say they will never donate to the Oregon Food Bank again.
