Two Can Tuesday helps those in need in SW Portland. Drivers pick up donations of food and hygiene items from neighborhoods around SW Portland and deliver them to the Neighborhood House Free Food Market for distribution to individuals and families dealing with food insecurity.
Place donations outside of your home if you live on one of their routes or drop off your donations at one of their drop sites (see list below) or become a driver and helping them grow by adding a new route to this program.
