SUN Community Schools partners with Oregon Food Bank and SUN community agencies to provide nutritious foods throughout 30 pantry sites in Multnomah County. SUN Community Schools "Food for All!" pantries are available to families 3-5 days a week during weekends, evenings, and other non-school days when food is hard to come by. Please use the Food Finder map to find details.
SUN Community School Free Food Markets distribute fruits and vegetables, also in partnership with Oregon Food Bank, and happen once a month.
Who can go
Access to SUN Community School food pantries and free food markets is open to any community member. Everyone is welcome to drop by, and they are designed to be welcoming, safe, and inclusive places. You are also welcome to send someone to pick up food on your behalf. They have a special focus on meeting the needs of families and students of the school district where the pantry is located.
