Notice the huge display in the Lobby? Its to collect food for 150+ kids at five schools in Portland who don’t have enough food to eat over the weekends. This time, however, we are donating food so they have food to eat over Spring Break.
In partnership with Take Action, Inc, we are trying to collect enough food to feed at least 30 children for their Spring Break. Please join us in this effort.
You can also donate by check: Make the check out to “Mt. Park Church,” indicating “Backpack Project” in the memo line and give it to one of the front office staff. We will make sure the donations make it to the church in time for food to be purchased. Examples of food items to donate are on the fliers at the display.
Questions? Contact Janis Sanford, Site Supervisor at 503.554.6164 or by email.

From March 7-18, the first-floor lobby of the Portland Center will be our collection site for non-perishable food items to support Take Action, Inc. All students, employees and friends are encouraged to participate.
Take Action works with students from five elementary schools in Portland to ensure that underprivileged children have food to eat when they go home on the weekend. This need was observed because many of the kids would load up on their Friday lunch, even trying to stuff their pockets of extra food to take home. Many of the kids at these schools wouldn’t eat again until the school provided breakfast on Monday morning.
The school staff began connecting with folks outside their area to gather food for these kids to take home to feed themselves and sometimes their families over the weekend.
This is where we can help. Below is a sample list of items that you can donate.
If you have questions, please contact Janis Sanford, site supervisor, at jsanford@georgefox.edu.
