Summer 2020 Charitable Foods Mapping Report
The Charitable Foods Action Group created a map of food distributions around Portland. This map serves as a functional resource for distribution agencies to identify gaps and overlaps in services. A report was created with data from the interactive map, as well as self-reported summary of each organization and their capacity for the duration of the summer. This report will be used to help determine the needs for future food distribution.
