Peoples Co-Op • 3029 SE 21st Ave • (503) 674-2642

• Call Sarah Cline (ext. 110) or e-mail her at sarahc at peoples dot coop

Trader Joe's • 4715 SE 39th Ave • (503) 777-1601

• Lindsay 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.
