Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon (EMO)’s Northeast Emergency Food Program (NEFP) meets the urgent food and clothing needs of the Portland metro area, primarily people living in east Portland, many of whom live east of 82nd Ave., as well as those who are experiencing houselessness and those who are undocumented. They are open on Saturdays and can serve families who work during the week.
Through their Service Learners Initiative, EMO also provides job training, skill building, and exposure to nonprofit services to 15 to 20 people every year. They work with everyone from graduate school interns to developmentally disabled adults. Graduates of the program have gone on to find employment in food services, social work, and retail management.
Emergency and urgent care provided through NEFP includes: Three-to five-day (or more) supply of nutritious groceries (up to three times in a six-month period); an overflowing shopping cart full of groceries, frequently valued at $200 or more; Fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy, bread and meat; Gently used clothing for the whole family; Weekly distribution of food—primarily fresh produce, grains and proteins—to the Sacajawea Head Start with our mobile pantry.
