Tualatin Food Pantry
Mission
To alleviate food insecurity in our community in a welcoming way that brings dignity and choice to our neighbors.
Bottom Line for Portland
This year, we anticipated serving more than 48,000 of our neighbors, but all that has changed. With the uncertainty of SNAP benefits, we expect to see an additional 1,000 to 2,000 people turn to TFP before year’s end. We are committed to ensuring that every family, senior, and child who comes to us has access to healthy, nourishing food—but we cannot do this alone.
The current need is exceeding our capacity but with your help our doors can remain open, serving the increasing number of neighbors seeking food assistance! Your gift will help TFP continue to respond to the increasing demand for emergency food support.

Quote
"Tualatin Food Bank continues to grow. We now serve 48,000 individuals and over 12,000 families each year. This year we have surpassed providing food to over 500,000 individuals in our 21 year history. We see more large households–with 8-9 people as single families can no longer afford their own housing. The need is great, and each year our volunteers and donors help our shopping style food pantry meet the needs of the community." - Danielle Schneider, Executive Director
