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.

How can I help?

Recent COVID-19 health concerns have impacted the SW Hope campaign in a major way. Cancelled community events make cash donations more essential than ever. You can donate food or money to help us reach our goal. While every donation helps, cash is the most effective way to support our work. Every $1 you give equals four pounds of healthy and nutritional food for the Food Pantry, thanks to our partnership with the Oregon Food Bank. If you want to support hungry community members during these trying times, please consider giving online or via check.
You can give by making your check out to:
