    Description

    Love rescuing food and redistributing it to your neighbors? Join our Saturday Pop-up!!

    Do you have a passion for reducing food waste and distributing high quality foods to your neighbors? Assist Lift UP to redistribute gleaned food to affordable housing buildings in NW and Downtown Portland for a Pop-Up style pantry! This rescued food is given out directly to residents by resident advocates and community volunteers who collaborate with Lift UP to ensure that as much food is 'rescued’ and given out as possible.

    The shift that is currently available involves sorting gleaned (donated) food on Saturdays around 9:30-11:30am to be transported to an affordable housing building where it will then be given out by resident volunteers. All buildings are located in NW/Downtown Portland. Minimum commitment is once/month.

    This program plays a vital role in combatting food insecurity in Portland, and your help would be greatly appreciated!

    This role requires the ability to safely lift up to 40lbs and stand for 2 hours.
