SW HOPE: Feed the Hungry

What is the Food Pantry?

Neighborhood House operates the largest food pantry on Portland’s west side, providing emergency food boxes to more than 1,400 individuals every month.

What is our goal?

This year, we hope to collect over 200,000 pounds of food to serve the ever-increasing number of families who come to Neighborhood House looking for assistance with their basic food needs. This amount of food can sustain our neighbors for three months, allowing them to focus on other necessities, such as finding employment or improving their job skills.
