About this facility
- Mission
- from website:
* Provide emergency food relief to individuals and families.
* Cooperate with local police to provide emergency food on demand.
* Provide in excess 350 food boxes each month from our warehouse and Portland area precincts.
* Provide over 4000 food boxes over the Holiday.
* Provide assistance with emergency clothing, bedding and other household items.
* Provide food to 40 nonprofit agencies in the Portland area to aid them in their effort to help the community.
* Help officer provide clothing for needy children they meet through Hoyt's Sunshine Kids School Clothing Program. The Sunshine Division was unofficially founded in 1923 by a group of officers and local businessmen who wanted to help their community. In the holiday season of that year they organized to provide food for around 200 families. This modest beginning is illustrative of the generous mind set of the people of Portland, especially the officers who wanted to ensure that no one would ever need to resort to crime just to feed their family. By 1933, the Sunshine Division was full-time operating unit of the Portland Police Bureau. The Sunshine Division places a high priority on the needs of families, particularly those with young children. The majority of our services reach children, elderly and handicapped within our community. Today, over 25,000 individuals benefit from various Sunshine Division programs and services each year. As Portland has grown, so has the need for our programs and services. - Service
