Traditional food drives are one of the best ways to help Portland Pay It Forward collect food.
Get Started Today!
Step 1: Register Your Drive
The first step is to complete the Registration Form so that we can collect information about your food drive.
Step 2: Set Out Food Drive Boxes
Due to the weight of canned goods, we suggest that you use boxes that are 12" deep by 15" - 22" wide and long. Book boxes make good food drive boxes.
Step 3: Promote Food Drive
Don't forget to promote your food drive. Here are a few resources that may help you:
Most Needed Items:
- Peanut Butter, Canned Meat (Chicken or Tuna), Canned Vegetables, Pasta, Cereal, Soup (regular & hearty), Chili, Oatmeal, Rice
Step 4: Get Food to those in Need
You may drop off your food drive donations at anytime on the front porch of Portland Pay It Forward or contact us to schedule a time for one of our team members to pick up the box.
