Tualatin School House Pantry Food Drives

Did you know?

  • Thirty percent of food donations come from food drives.
  • Sixty-three percent of food donations come from the food industry or people who have a hand in the production and distribution of food.

 

Tualatin School House Pantry heartily applauds the amazing community members who coordinate food and fund drives at:

  • Work sites
  • Schools
  • Churches and temples
  • Service clubs
  • Professional organizations ..and more.

 

How can individuals or groups run a food or funds drive?

You can do it ... with a little help from your friends! Groups in the Tualatin area raised thousands of pounds of food and thousands of dollars last year to help fight hunger in our community. Please see the list of TSHP immediate and ongoing needs.
