Thank you for thinking about your neighbors in need. There are always food items that we can put to good use in the cafe!  We serve 350-450 meals a day, and so we need large-quantity goods to fit with menu planning.

Please contact us to set up a drop-off time: Kitchen Manager Lisa Bersani (503) 222-5694 ext. 24,

We are looking for:

• Grated or shredded cheese: Parmesan and cheddar
• Larger-quantity fresh veggies
• Fresh fruit
• Ground coffee
• Sugar
• Sliced bread in uniform loaves (store-bought style, not rustic style) - we have room to accept up to 20 loaves a week

Please Note:

Sisters Of The Road is a licensed restaurant, and we follow Health Code regulations very closely.  We must be extremely careful with perishable food, and we can only accept food that has been made in a restaurant-licensed kitchen. 

Therefore we cannot accept:

• Home-made goods
• Previously-served food: deli platters, dessert trays, pickle and olive trays, cookies
• Milk or meat
• Boxes of random canned food
• Any opened packages of food

To inquire if your banquet left-overs, home-baked goods, or non-bulk food can be used elsewhere, please call Blanchet House (503.226.3911), the Union Gospel Mission (503.274.4483), or the Downtown Chapel (503.228.0746) - all located in downtown Portland.  FISH Emergency Services on SE Hawthorne may also take non-perishable food (503.233.5533).

Thank you for your giving spirit and warm thoughts!
