Sunshine Division provides food and clothing relief to Portland families and individuals in need.
About us
Since 1923, the Sunshine Division has been providing food and clothing relief to Portland families and individuals in need. Whether due to the loss of a job, domestic crime, illness, or victims of fire or disaster, the Sunshine Division has built a 95-year legacy of mobilizing quickly and efficiently to assist distressed Portlanders. We offer food assistance six days a week at our N. Thompson location, four days a week at our SE Stark location, and 24 hour food assistance through our partnership with the Portland Police Bureau, who store Sunshine Division food boxes at each police precinct to be dispatched at any time. We also provide no-cost, bulk food and food boxes to 20+ local hunger relief non-profits serving Clark, Clackamas, Washington, and Multnomah counties. In addition to food relief, we offer new and gently-used clothing in our on-site clothing room and fund new school clothes for low income children through our Izzy’s Kid’s program which pairs a Portland police officer with a child for a one-on-one shopping experience.

Our community raised more than $27,000 for Sunshine Division through the Portland Light of the World Giving Machines at Washington Square this past holiday season. Today these funds are going to provide essential groceries like rice, fresh produce and peanut butter for local families who are facing hunger. Thank you for making this work possible!

Recent cuts to federal food and social service programs are hitting our community hard. Local organizations are stretched thin, and more families and agencies are turning to Sunshine Division for help. Every day, families are faced with impossible choices. A mother skipping meals so her children can eat. A senior choosing between food and medication. These are real challenges people in our community are facing. We are here to help, but we can’t do it alone. Sunshine Division relies 100% on community generosity — not federal or state funding. Every meal we provide is because of you. 💛 Your support changes lives. Please consider donating today: https://bit.ly/4l29AAb Thank you for standing with us!
