Local churches, synagogues, and organizations are working together to meet the needs of hungry people in southwest Portland.
What is the need?
The number of families seeking food assistance in Southwest Portland has greatly increased this past year. In 2007, Neighborhood House, our local community service organization, distributed boxes of food to 230 to 280 families a month, feeding approximately 800 individuals. In the fall of 2008 and into the winter of 2009, food boxes have been distributed to 400 - 420 families, feeding up to 1,300 individuals.

Most likely not, but many folks in our community improve their neighborhoods through volunteer efforts. Southwest Neighborhoods, Inc. is a nonprofit coalition of 16 Southwest Portland neighborhoods. Our mission is to empower citizen action to improve and maintain the livability of southwest neighborhoods.
