We want to THANK YOU everyone that supported Portland Backpack and Portland Parks Free Lunch & Play! We handed out 1,092 food sacks and had over 40.5 volunteers in the Parks !
Another THANK YOU to everyone that came to our warehouse to make care cards and pack food sacks for the children. If you did not get a chance to participate no worries!
October 3rd will be our first packing event for the fall. Please join us Saturday morning from 10am - 12pm. Yes children and teenagers are welcomed with adult supervision.
You can still support our program in other ways if you cannot attend our packing event. You can drop off a food donation from our food packing list, care cards with words of encouragement on index cards with art work, or a donation in our Caring Neighborhood Club. You can make a one time donation or become a frequent caring club neighbor member.
Please feel free to email at officeportlandbackpack@gmail.com for additional information or questions.
