What is SW Hope: Feed the Hungry?
Local Faith Organizations and Community Partners are working together to meet the needs of hungry people in southwest Portland.

 What is the need?
Over the last year, usage of the Neighborhood House Emergency Food Box program has seen an increase of over 40% due to the decline in the economy and the increasing unemployment rate. In the last six months, Neighborhood House has distributed an average of 359 boxes a month, feeding approximately 1,000 individuals. This is a critical time for the Emergency Food Box program -- we are requesting support from the greater community to feed the most vulnerable and assist our disadvantaged neighbors, many who are experiencing particulary great need at this time.

What is the Goal?
 To collect 100,000 pounds of food or the cash equivalent ($1.00 = 5 lbs.) to feed all the hungry people in southwest Portland for four months.
Food collected or monetary donations will go to the Neighborhood House Emergency Food Box Program.
 
 
When will this happen?
 The SW HOPE: FEED THE HUNGRY campaign will be held from February 22 through April 5, 2009
