SW HOPE: Feed the Hungry


What is SW HOPE: Feed the Hungry?  Since 2006, each spring Southwest Portland Faith Organizations and Community Partners work together to meet the needs of hungry people in Southwest Portland.  In 2012, the need continues to be at the highest level we've ever experienced.

What is the need?

Over the last two years, usage of the Neighborhood House Emergency Food Box program has seen an increase of almost 90% due to the decline in the economy and the increasing unemployment rate. In the last six months, Neighborhood House has distributed an average of 600 boxes a month, feeding approximately 1,800 individuals. This is a critical time for our Emergency Food Box program -- we are requesting support from the greater community to feed the most vulnerable and assist our disadvantaged neighbors, so many of whom are experiencing particulary great need at this time.

Please help!  A donation of any amount makes a difference.
