Volunteer with Sunshine Division
Join Sunshine Division as we begin a new chapter at our new headquarters located at 2121 NW Front Ave near downtown Portland. We’re currently recruiting volunteers to support both our food pantry and warehouse operations.
Food pantry volunteers work directly with neighbors to help them shop for groceries in a welcoming, dignified environment. Warehouse volunteers sort food donations, stock shelves, and help prepare food boxes for families across the community.
Whether you’re looking for a consistent weekly shift or occasional drop-in opportunities, we’d love to have you on the team. To get started, tap “Sign Up to Volunteer” below to fill out an application.
