Oregon Food Bank - Fresh Alliance Volunteer (age 18+) Referral
Clackamas Service Center (CSC) is an inclusive "one-stop" community center for individuals and families seeking food relief and resources for improved health, dignity, and stability.
CSC relies on a robust team of volunteers to connect our members to crucial services. Over 300 people volunteer at CSC each year, contributing over 8,000 hours in total. We truly couldn’t do this work without our amazing volunteers!
The project depends on the needs of the Oregon Food Bank Network. Volunteer shifts will take place at Clackamas Service Center. Located at 8800 SE 80th Ave., Portland OR 97206
