SW HOPE: Feed the Hungry Campaign
February 14 - March 28

The fourth annual SW HOPE: Feed the Hungry campaign will kick off this month with a goal of collecting 150,000 pounds of food, or the cash equivalent ($1 purchases 5 pounds of food at the Oregon Food Bank). More than 28 local faith communities in SW Portland have signed on to address this critical need.

As in past years, the SW HOPE food-raising activities will include collection barrels and informational tables at local businesses, community centers, and faith congregations. Dine Out and Donate promotions will raise money for the campaign via special dining days, coupons, and discounts.

Food donations can be made at any of the faith locations displaying a SW HOPE banner. Donations, both food and monetary, can be made at Neighborhood House, located at 7780 SW Capitol Hwy, on M T W 10-5, Th 10-8, and F 10-2.

We are very pleased to have reached and surpassed our goal given the current economic situation. Our deepest thanks to everyone who contributed to the campaign. Your support is essential to our ability to keep pace with the growing and continued need in the community for help.

Please join us for a great evening of fun all while supporting and helping the community. Neighborhood House’s most anticipated event brings together hundreds of guests to enjoy a unique evening including lively entertainment, dinner and silent and fast-paced, oral auction. Don't miss it!

This year we debut a new theme for this annual fundraiser: Fête Locale: A Celebration of All Things Local, a tribute to the innovative and fascinating local tastes, talents and treasures that abound in our community.
