1 in 7 Americans struggle with hunger.
The Food Project model is an innovative new way to fight hunger. The Tigard Food Project has adapted it, changing the collection dates and some other details. But this video explains the basic idea behind it.

A Simple System That Really Works
EVERY 2 MONTHS—on the second Sunday of every even month—our Food Donors bring bags of healthy nonperishable food that they have collected to Rise Church. They leave their full green bags and receive empty ones for next time. Then additional volunteers take all the food to local Food Banks. It’s that easy!

Fight Hunger in Your Own Backyard
Be a Food Donor
It takes: 15 minutes a month
Your role: Fill a green bag with nonperishable food every two months and deliver it to Rise Church. That’s all there is to it!
Impact: One full green bag equals about ten meals. We combine your bag with your neighbors’ bags, and together we can feed the community!
Be a Neighborhood Coordinator
It takes: 1 hour a month
Your role: Remind Food Donors to deliver their green bags to Rise Church every 2 months.
Impact: Each donor’s contribution averages 43 meals a year. With just 10 donors, you’ll provide a meal to a hungry neighbor every 30 seconds you volunteer!
Join the Support Team
It takes: Whatever time you choose
Your role: We’ve got lots big and small jobs to do! Help with anything from unloading bags of food to making phone calls to joining our Steering Committee.
Impact: In the Food Project, every job is essential. We’re an all-volunteer organization. We depend on people like you to keep us going.
