PEKKA Plays

Mar 27, 2020

Wonderful place. You get to help so many people. The four stars is because the latex covers and gloves make you sweat literal buckets. This is coming from a guy who can play football in 90° weather with jeans and not sweat a drop.

My wife and I volunteer every 3rd Thursday. It is a very easy thing to do to give back to your community, and when your 2 hours is up, you learn how many tons of food you packaged, how many meals that makes, and how many hundreds of food challenged people it will feed. There are various groups of organizations that volunteer, so it can also be a great team building event, that also makes you feel that you've done a really good thing for your community too. Its not really a competition, but we pride ourselves on having the most through-put of filled boxes of rice, oats, canned foods, or dry goods. The same can be said for the nights that we sort carrots, apples, pears, potatoes or onions. How many totes you can finish versus the rest of the squads adds to the sense of accomplishment. Give it a try, they are always looking for volunteers.

This is an amazing organization doing much needed work! Participated in a volunteer event through my work and had a blast while accomplishing a ton. The staff that were leading the event were incredibly friendly, organized and fun. If you have time to volunteer here, I highly recommend it! And they can always use more helping hands!

With two hours of my time, I was able to help package 337 meals. That is a meal a day for almost a year for someone. WOAH! Such a great place to give back and do some volunteer work!

Not sure whether this is what you're asking — you can make a donation in someone's honor, and get a gift card to give to them. I did that for Christmas for people in my office. Oregon Food Bank will send you very cute paper cards, or an electronic version.

Adding to what others have said, I believe different locations have different requirements. Be aware also that you should search for "food pantries" in your area - this is where food is given out to families. The Oregon Food Bank is where food is sorted before being delivered to food pantries

How do I request a food box for myself?

Elizabeth McGill | Mar 27, 2018
Sarah Salazar | Mar 28, 2018

The Oregon Food Bank is a wholesale-level distribution network. It receives bulk (truck loads) shipments of fresh and frozen foods and repackages them and distributes to food pantries, meals programs, etc who then distribute to families and individuals. There are many local food pantries, run by chuches, schools, and others. If you do not know where to find the closest one, you can ask any social service agency or call your city government or a nearby church. They will usually have this information and most will not require that you identify yourself.
