In December 2012, The Portland Food Project, an ALL VOLUNTR organization, welcomed two Northeast food pantries into our program: “NE Emergency Food Program” and “Cas ATrinidad Food House”. These pantries are providing an additional 80 pounds of non perishable food an additional volunteer to help with this much needed program in our community. There are several options you can contribute:
Step 1) Call 503-775-2110 or visit www.portlandfoodproject.org and click for your Green Bag
Step 2) Add 1 or 2 extra non-perishable food items to your cart each time you go shopping.
Step 3) Store the extra items in the green Food Project bag you will receive.
Step 4) Every 8 weeks, a volunteer Neighborhood Coordinator picks up your Green Bag and takes it to a local pantry. When your bag is picked up, you get a replacement bag with the next pick-up date!
2014 Pickup Dates:
- Saturday, April 12th
- Saturday, June 14th
- Saturday, August 9th
- Saturday, October 11th
