Hamilton Darnall, LLC recently partnered with a church in SE Portland to help launch a community food pantry. They intend to partner with Oregon Food Bank, which requires demonstrating operational sustainability.
Our role is to help engage community partners, identify funding opportunities and help position them for funding.
Even before the first meeting they had received their first grant.
Small businesses have begun sending donations.
Within two days they managed to leverage volunteers to help collect food.
This is an exciting project and we are pleased they are stepping up to meet needs in this under served Portland neighborhood.
