Donations are solicited by members of the Outreach committee. This is a general list of helpful businesses in the area, who don't mind if we contact them again.
Restaurants
Hot Lips Pizza • 2211 SE Hawthorne • (503) 224-2069
- Like what we do, how we do it, and willing to support events. Can call within five days of upcoming event.
Assaggio • 7742 SE 13th Ave at Lambert • (503) 232-6151
- Hadn't heard of us, and prefer more notice for events, but willing to help
Thai Lahnna • 7937 SE 13th • (503) 230-0422
- Hadn't heard of us, but were happy to help; could probably call again
Grocery Stores
Organically Grown • 16107 SE 98th Ave. • ph. (503) 496-0450 • fx. (503) 496-0477
- Waylon Spoden can be contacted at wspoden@organicgrown.com. His is a Free Geek volunteer.
- Brian can be contacted at bkeough@organicgrown.com. He is their donation contact.
New Seasons • 1954 SE Division St. • ph. (503) 445-2888 • fx. (503) 546-5320 • marks@newseasonsmarket.com
- Mark is the current contact.
Limbo Living Market • 4707 SE 39th • Portland OR 97207 • (503) 774-8008
- Ellen Campbell is the donation contact. I have yet to achieve contact with her! -Sophia
UPDATE: Ellen says, small market, concentrating on food donations to schools, but send letter out and they'll consider us; will send letter today (4/27/06)
Peoples Co-Op • 3029 SE 21st Ave • (503) 674-2642
- Call Sarah Klein--would prefer a month's notice, but can do with two weeks, and more than happy to help
Trader Joe's • 4715 SE 39th Ave • (503) 777-1601
- Lindsay now handles donations on behalf of Trader Joe's.
Food Front • 2375 NW Thurman • (503) 222-5658
- Tom is the person to talk to, and for the last event, I didn't get a chance to call them back--but the time I did call, they seemed very willing to help. Out of our area, but may be worth it.
Market of Choice • 8502 Terwilliger Blvd • (503) 892-7331
- Talked to Steven, and seem quite willing to help with small gift certificate and/or petty cash with which to shop; can call within five days but prefer thirty
- Download the file from the Market of Choice site (that's the link to their Donations page) and follow the instructions
Bob's Red Mill • 5209 SE International Way • Milwaukie, OR 97222 • ph. (800) 349-2173 • fx. (503) 653-1339
- Yvonne is the person to talk to, and Bob's is very willing to help with food donations. The catch--it has to be something that Bob's alone produces--and Bob's is a whole grain and flour mill. Still, bulk dried fruit and nuts, popcorn, granola, soy milk powder, and bread mixes to take home and bring back--it's not a bad deal. Willing to help with five days' notice.
- Remember to fax in request on letterhead.
Organics to You • 2019 SE Belmont • (503) 236-6496
- This company delivers organic produce in the Portland area. But they generally have 'leftovers' at the end of the week, and calling a week before--and picking up on Friday--should generally get us food donations.
Non-Food
Office Max • Portland Store #445 • Southgate Center • 10319 S.E. 82nd Street • Portland, OR 97266 • (503) 788-9234
- Office Max has a quarterly charitable donation program. Full information is in the hands of Outreach. This is here mostly as a placeholder; I want to see if we get anything from the program, first.
