Don't throw that food away! Donate it to a local food bank.
Provide bins at school for the non-perishables people were thinking of throwing away and donate the food to the Oregon Food Bank or start a food drive inviting students to bring non-perishables for a competition between classes.
On any given night in Portland an average of 2,000 people sleep on the streets. Hunger is happening for these people in your city. This can be a temporary or chronic problem for families that because of rising joblessness, falling wages, and rapidly rising food and fuel costs have been stretched to the limit and beyond.
Spend a day volunteering to cook a homeless family a meal and find more ways to make a difference in our community with Hands on Greater Portland.
