About This Cause
Portland Food Project started with 14 initial donors. In 2012, they contributed 237 lbs. of food to two Southeast Portland food pantries: The Kelly School SUN Pantry and SE Community Food Pantry. Today, there are 120 Neighborhood Coordinators picking up food from about 1,900 households. Every other month, we collect about 19,000 lbs of food. We are celebrating a major milestone in its mission to enlist neighbors to help fight food insecurity in Portland neighborhoods. Since 2012, Portland Food Project volunteers have collected over 1 million meals worth of non-perishable food (1.2 million pounds) to support local food pantries serving our neighbors who struggle with food insecurity. It’s an amazing success story…but there’s still plenty of need in our area, and plenty of room for the PFP to grow. So join us! Don’t wait for a neighbor to knock on your door. Get in touch and let us know you want to share food. We’ll bring you a green bag, and get you started right away!
