Build Food Boxes, Build Hope
Sunshine Division provides direct food relief to Portland residents-in-need six days a week. We're looking for dedicated volunteers who want to make a difference in the lives of their fellow citizens who need help. Food assistance makes a huge impact helping create economic stability and addressing hunger.
Over the past 18 months, Sunshine Division has been incredibly busy serving more people in need than ever before throughout our 98-year history. Since April 2020, Sunshine Division has provided 7 million meals to more than a quarter million families and individuals.
Ever since COVID-19 began, Sunshine Division has had to operate without the 2,000+ volunteers that normally assist our organization. With that being said, we are excited to announce that the time has officially come to welcome volunteers back!
Here are some details about our current volunteer opportunity:
Tasks:
- Emergency Food Box Building
- Sorting Donated Food Items
Time:
Thursday, September 30th from 1-3pm

Mission Statement
Sunshine Division provides food and clothing relief to Portland families and individuals in need.
Description
FREE Food & Clothing Assistance for over 95 Years!
Since 1923, the Sunshine Division has been providing food and clothing relief to Portland families and individuals in need. Whether due to the loss of a job, domestic crime, illness, or victims of fire or disaster, the Sunshine Division has built a 98-year legacy of mobilizing quickly and efficiently to assist distressed Portlanders.
We offer food assistance six days a week at our N. Thompson location, four days a week at our SE Stark location, and 24 hour food assistance through our partnership with the Portland Police Bureau, who store Sunshine Division food boxes at each police precinct to be dispatched at any time. We also provide no-cost, bulk food and food boxes to 20+ local hunger relief non-profits serving Clark, Clackamas, Washington, and Multnomah counties. In addition to food relief, we offer new and gently-used clothing in our on-site clothing room and fund new school clothes for low income children through our Izzy’s Kid’s program which pairs a Portland police officer with a child for a one-on-one shopping experience.
