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
- Call Haven, generally afternoons, and give slightly more than a month's notice--but happy to help if notice is given
Food Front • 2375 NW Thurman • 503-222-5658
- Krishnee 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
New Seasons Market • 1954 SE Division St • (503) 445-2888 • (503) 445-3100
- Technically, this should be in the haven't called yet column, but we called the New Seasons in Sellwood, and they donated a sandwich platter, and ten pounds of salad. They did remind us that calling the Division store would be better in future. Can call within five days of event, but prefer more notice.
Bob's Red Mill • 5209 SE International Way • Milwaukie, OR 97222 • (800) 349-2173 • (503) 653-1339 (FAX)
- 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.
