Project Feed [link]

Project FEED (Food Emergency Exchange Depot) is an emergency food depot located in the basement of Woodfords Congregational Church. Project FEED was founded in 1975 by a group of clergy and lay-people concerned with the growing number of Portland residents who were without a reliable source of food in emergencies. Project FEED is supported by 23 churches and 2 synagogues in the Greater Portland area and is staffed completely by volunteers.

We appreciate donations of non-perishable goods such as: canned vegetables, fruits, soups, meats, and juices; boxed items -- macaroni and cheese, instant potato, instant milk, baking mix, gelatins and puddings; personal care items -- shampoos, bar soap, large-size diapers, tissues, toothpaste, and toothbrushes; and household items -- paper towels, laundry detergent, and dish detergent.
