Oregon Food Bank (OFB) distributes 45 million pounds per year to the hungry families of Oregon and southwest Washington. OFB’s Volunteer Action Center is located at 7900 NE 33rd Drive in Portland. There is ample parking and TriMet’s Bus #73 stops right in front of the building. Volunteers from Portland Peace Corps Association volunteer at the food bank weekly, packing food to be distributed to needy families in the area.

For our next service shifts at OFB, please check the PPCA events calendar.
