Our primary service at Care To Share is to screen telephone requests for emergency food. We then refer the caller to a nearby church for pick-up or delivery. Most churches supply food to last 3-7days. Churches use their volunteers to assist in deliveries and distribution of the food at their locations. Because volunteer time is valuable, we request that if two or more families reside within the same household that food is requested for the entire household on the same day. Food may be requested by calling Care To Share at (503) 591-9025 Monday through Friday (unless otherwise indicated on our recording) between the hours of 9:00am-12:00pm and 12:30pm-2:00pm. Our phone lines are often very busy. We want to assist you so please keep trying to call or leave a message for food by pressing 1 for food assistance.
After hours food is available for pickup at:
The Beaverton Police Department
Records Division
4755 SW Griffith Drive

Hillsboro Family Shelter,
