Our dignified and equitable service reflects a whole network of committed volunteers and donors. As a neighborhood food resource, NEFP relies heavily on the regular support and involvement of churches, individuals, local businesses and foundation grants. Their generosity helps us to continue meeting the needs of over 10,000 people each month.

The food distributed at Northeast Emergency Food Program is donated by some truly amazing organizations, businesses, churches, civic organizations and individuals.

As an Oregon Food Bank (OFB) Partner Agency, NEFP receives the majority of our food through the OFB Metro location. This food includes purchased, donated and USDA allocated products, both fresh and nonperishable. In recent years, the amount of fresh produce coming from the OFB has exponentially increased as part of a concerted effort to provide better food for healthier families. The Oregon Food Bank is a part of the Feeding America network and cannot be thanked enough.

The primary businesses that donate to NEFP include (but are not limited to):

    • Trader Joe’s
    • New Seasons
    • Whole Foods
    • Safeway
    • Marsee Baking
    • Legacy Emmanuel Health

In the warmer seasons, we get regular donations from community gardens, neighbors with excess fruit and vegetables, and the Portland Fruit Tree Project, as well as NEFP’s own garden. We also rely on churches, non-food-industry businesses, schools, community groups, individuals and other organizations to donate on a regular basis.
