Northwest Portland Ministries, Inc. (NWPM) creates a caring community of volunteers who help neighbors in need. We inspire volunteers from congregations and the larger community to support neighbors to live with dignity and purpose. We provide food, transportation, recreation and helping hands.

“Together we can . . . !”

Volunteers are an essential part of the NWPM Food Pantry, Community Share program and the Food For Kids Backpack program. Volunteers help out every weekday except Wednesdays and at weekend work parties. Cleaning, sorting food drive items, and repacking items are frequent work party activities. Volunteers can also help to pick up food-drive donations and glean perishables. We are particularly in need of people who can make pickups and deliveries, and/or who are able to regularly lift 40 pound boxes.
