Dear Portland BackPack Family,

Thank you for showing up for our kids in this time of need. We still need your assistance as we are currently running low on care cards. If you enjoy drawing, coloring, and coming up with positive words of encouragement, please send your care cards to 4600 NE Killingsworth St, Portland, Oregon 97218. If you are able to, we certainly can use more snack items, such as goldfish crackers, fruit/veggie pouches, gogo gurts, seaweed, and nature bakery bars. Those can be purchased from our Amazon wish list, Costco, Safeway, and Fred Meyers.

Next, our website will be going through a major upgrade. In the next few weeks there will be changes, to make it easier to access our most requested items for information such as the food packing list and dates of upcoming packing events.

Finally, we have a new temporary email address as we work to get access of our email accounts. Please use officeportlandbackpack@gmail.com or call us at (503) 384-2983.

Thank you so much,

Natalie Edwards

Interim Executive Director
