Sunshine Division - Food Packing

Come join us as we put boxes together to support our community. It’s a simple, hands‑on way to give back, connect with others, and have fun while making a real difference.

Sunshine Division provides immediate food relief to Portland Metro families and individuals in need. This simple mission began over 100 years ago in Southwest Portland’s Goose Hollow neighborhood when Portland Police Reserve officers delivered meal baskets to families in need during the holidays.Today, they continue to evolve and expand the programs to better serve the most vulnerable neighbors across the metro area.  Please take a few minutes to read the ​​​​Volunteer Orientation​​​​ and ​​​​Parking Guidelines. 

Please complete the General Release before your event. If minors are participating, a Parent/Guardian Release is required.
