We are the first culturally-specific food pantry serving Asian seniors in Oregon. We serve 140+ households (225 people) of Asian seniors living in low-income housing in Downtown, Northwest, North and Northeast Portland. We would love to receive fresh vegetables and fruits, particularly Asian produce.

Want an email when this food pantry updates their hours or other information?
If the gardeners want to donate over the weekend, we can arrange for direct drop off to apartment buildings in Downtown Portland. Please text me at 407.923.6927 to coordinate.
ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!
The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
