Since initiating this program a few weeks ago, St. Barnabas has provided bags to up to 30 families a week. Donations are accepted from 3:30-4:30pm every Saturday. Items accepted include: canned goods (beans, peanut butter, canned fish) and personal hygiene items; no homemade, glass, or opened goods.
April 10 update: food items needed include canned and dry goods (beans, peanut butter, canned fish and chicken, pasta, rice, low-sugar cereals)
Free food bag pick-up is every Saturday at 5pm. Requests for vegetarian, pork-free, allergen-free options will be honored where possible. Cash donations may be made at https://www.saintbarnabaspdx.org/donate-now/; choose Community Dinner as the designated fund.
