KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. - Friends of the Children is holding their annual Potato Sale Fundraiser. Because helping kids is “no small potatoes,” Friends has available 20-pound boxes of premium potatoes for $20 until all boxes are sold.

Friends of the Children are kicking off this fundraiser with an event at Klamath Falls Subaru on Saturday, November 2nd, between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. where these russet premium potatoes, provided by sponsor CAL-ORE Produce, can be picked up.

Further, during the month of November, potatoes can be purchased by stopping at the Friends of the Children Clubhouse Monday-Thursday between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM or at one of these businesses after Nov. 4th: Klamath Falls Subaru and Honda, all three branches of Washington Federal Bank, and AmeriTitle. If unable to stop by one of these locations, Friends of the Children will deliver in and around the Klamath Basin. Please call 541.273.2022 to order potatoes for your dining or holiday needs!
