Dear friend,

March is right around the corner and Lift UP is excited to launch our 2021 Spring Food and Fund Drive. While things may look a little different this year, we still have many ways to get involved.

Collect food to feed your neighbors

30% of the Delivered Food Boxes we distribute are customized to meet the dietary needs of recipients. Often, these items are difficult to obtain. Donating items from the list below will make a significant impact on our community.

Low sodium foods (must be under 140 mg of sodium)
Low/no sugar added foods
Gluten-free foods
Nut butters
Canned tuna or meat
Canned or dried beans
Rice and grains
Cans or cartons of soup
Breakfast items

*Due to Covid-19 restrictions, all donations must be delivered to the Lift UP Warehouse.

Drop off times are Tuesdays and Fridays, between 9am and 12pm.

Lift UP Warehouse
U-Store Building
2860 NW 29th Avenue

Please call in advance, if possible, to speak with our Warehouse Specialist Ceci Estraviz: 503-221-1224 ext. 101.

Host a Virtual Food Drive

If you're part of an organization, business, or congregation who would like to host a Food and Fund Drive, we can create a customized web page for you!

Monetary donations have the greatest impact on our ability to provide healthy, fresh foods to our neighbors. Thanks to our partnership with Oregon Food Bank, we're able to provide 15 meals for every $5 we receive.

We look forward to partnering with you!

Gratefully,

Brett Williams,
Community Engagement Manager

P. S. If you’re a SNAP recipient and lost food as a result of the ice storm, you may be eligible to get some SNAP dollars added back to your Oregon EBT card. Learn more here.
