Since 1923, the Portland Police Bureau Sunshine Division has been providing emergency food and clothing relief to Portland families and individuals in need. Whether due to the loss of a job, domestic crime, illness, or victims of fire or disaster, the Sunshine Division has built an 89-year legacy of mobilizing quickly and efficiently to assist distressed Portlanders. The Sunshine Division offers emergency food and clothing assistance six days a week at our North Portland warehouse to approximately 1,200 families a month as well as 24/7 through a partnership with the Portland Police Bureau who store food boxes at each police precinct that can be dispatched to people in need at any time and reaches more than 1000 families annually. In addition to food relief the Sunshine Division also offers new and gently used clothing to those in need at their North Portland facility.

No family or person is ever turned away!

The Barbers Peanut Butter drive has donated over 60,000 jars of peanut butter to the Sunshine Division over the last three years, and this year we hope to donate another 25,000 jars! 

This amount of peanut butter will last about 12 months at the Sunshine Division as it is a very popular food item for families because of its high protein content and the fact that it does not need refrigeration.

Prizes include:

-          A Pair of Club level tickets to the Civil War between Oregon and Oregon State on November 24^th for the Grand prize winner

-           A pair of courtside tickets to any Blazer game to the person who donates the most during the 3:00pm – 4:00pm hour
