Sign Up to Host A Food Barrel Drive!
A food barrel drive is an easy and meaningful way to support Portlanders facing food insecurity.
By collecting non-perishable food donations, you’ll be able to help keep our pantry shelves stocked with nutritious food year-round.
A food drive is an ideal way to bring together your company, school, faith-based or community group together to ensure no family has to go hungry.

How It Works
To schedule a barrel delivery, pickup, or swap, use our online scheduling link. This link is specifically for arranging one service date at a time (delivery, pickup, or swap) and is not used to select food drive start and end dates.
Each service requires a separate reservation to ensure accurate routing and availability.
Food drive services are available Monday–Friday.
Once your reservation is made, you’ll receive automated email confirmations and reminders to help keep everything running smoothly.
Guidelines & Support
We kindly ask that all donations consist of non-perishable, unexpired food items. If your food barrel pickup or drop off does not arrive at its scheduled time, we will try to follow up with you.
If you do not hear from us within 24 hours, email [email protected] to check on the status of your barrel.
Food items that are always in high demand include:
● Peanut Butter
● Canned Meats
● Boxed Dinners
● Canned Vegetables
● Canned Fruits
● Canned Beans
● Pasta Sauce
Community Partnerships
Sunshine Division proudly collaborates with more than 100 organizations across the Portland metro area to amplify our impact and extend our reach in the community.
Our partners include social service agencies, school districts, and the Portland Police Bureau, among others.
Through our network of approved social service agencies, we provide essential food support to thousands of families and individuals in need.
During the summer, Sunshine Division provides food boxes to hundreds of families at Portland Public Schools. And every week, we provide 60-70 food bags to Community Transitional School in North Portland, a school focused on educating at-risk children.
When surplus inventory is available, Sunshine Division redistributes bulk food donations to other charitable organizations, ensuring nothing goes to waste and that more families are supported.
Each year, our annual Holiday Meal Distribution ensures a wide range of organizations receive food to share with their clients, making the holiday season brighter for those in need.
We are grateful to work with so many organizations that are committed to improving the lives of our most vulnerable neighbors.
