Portland Police Bureau Sunshine Division – SEMpdx Charity of Choice 2012
About the Portland Police Bureau Sunshine Division
Since 1923, the Portland Police Bureau Sunshine Division has been providing emergency food and clothing relief to Portland families and individuals in need. Whether due to the loss of a job, domestic crime, illness, or victims of fire or disaster, the Sunshine Division has built an 88-year legacy of mobilizing quickly and efficiently to assist distressed Portlanders. They offer emergency food assistance five days a week at our North Portland warehouse as well as 24/7 through our partnership with the Portland Police Bureau who store food boxes at each police precinct that can be dispatched to people in need at any time. In addition to food relief they also offer new and gently used clothing to those in need at our North Portland facility.
Each year, SEMpdx selects a Charity of Choice to support for a 12 month period.

- Recognition at events and in our collateral materials
- Opportunity to display collateral materials at our monthly events
