Sunshine Division has existed for nearly 100 years to offer emergency food during times of crisis, like what we are facing now. They are a nonprofit emergency food and clothing relief organization in unique partnership with the Portland Police Bureau.

They operate year-round to provide temporary relief, not only to Portland individuals and families who lack essential food and clothing but also to more than 70 food-relief agencies in five counties. Thanks to generous donations of food and finances from both individuals and corporations, the 98-year-old charity receives, manages, and distributes food to nearly 67,000 households every year.

Through their two food pantries, two school-based programs that provide free food for children experiencing homelessness, and with the assistance of Portland Police Officers who distribute emergency food boxes year-round, and participate in the Izzy's Kid's "Shop with a Cop" program that supports nearly 500 low-income children throughout the year, they served over 200,000 families and individuals last year.
