Help your neighbors! The NE Emergency Food Project needs your support!

NEFP is feeling the pinch of higher prices and bulk food shortages. Here's ways you can help:

Donate: rice, cereal and baby food

Foods can be in unopened packages of any quantity. Dried beans, canned vegetables, soups, peanut butter, pasta and personal care items such as deodorant and toothpaste are also helpful.

Food can be dropped off at the church.
Enter the Cleveland side door and look for the red collection barrel, downstairs in the Fellowship Hall.

Times the church is open:
9am-Noon Sunday
3pm-6pm Tuesday
9am-12pm Wednesday
During the Volunteer Fair
Saturday, May 3rd, 10-Noon

Food can also be taken to NEFP directly, check their website for hours.

You can also write a check to::
Northeast Emergency Food Project
4800 NE Wygant
Portland OR 97218

On April 1st, 50 lbs of rice cost around $12. Less than a month later, the cost is over $18. Who knows what it will be tomorrow? Organizations like NEFP are particularly challenged because of rationing and in competing with for profit businesses for these staples. They don't have money to stcck pile, and they have more mouths to feed as prices rise. Make sure your neighbors can eat! Donate today!
