But for now, we need your help. Join the food waste revolution!

Farmers-to-Families
We DID get food boxes tomorrow 10/20 after all. They're at my house, 17850 NW Park View Blvd., 97229
We have a very limited number of volunteers who can deliver food boxes to your apartment communities, so if you're ill or don't have a car, you can email susie@wastenotfoodtaxi.org with your address to request delivery. Please be aware that I can't guarantee delivery but will do my best to take care of you.
We're setting up a drive-through area where you can get your boxes loaded into your car without having to get out. We won't be taking reservations or asking for names. Please put on a mask before opening your car window to speak to a volunteer.
Are you able to take a few extra sets of boxes for families near you? Please email Susie@WasteNotFoodTaxi.org and tell me your address. I'll let you know if we need your help this week.
Thank you all so much for being flexible!
You can also find boxes Wednesdays at Aloha High School (11-1:00), Beaverton High School (12-1:00), and Southridge High School (12-1:00). There are no requirements to receive food.
For those outside the Beaverton area, contact Oregon Food Bank or Archdiocese of Portland for updated distribution locations.

Fresh Direct - NEW
The post-pandemic world is different, and we're adapting. We now partner with Oregon Food Bank and our volunteer drivers to pick up grocery store donations and deliver them directly to nearby low-income housing. This allows fresh food to get into recipients' hands in a matter of minutes instead of days. We need your help! Join our group on Facebook.
Safe Food Handling
Please visit our safety page to learn about our food handling procedures. Note: We are not handling unpackaged prepared food during the pandemic. We accept fresh produce, wrapped and packaged foods only until further notice.

Mission Statement
Waste Not Food Taxi strives to reduce food waste through collection services, education, and community resources, and to make more food available to low-income people without regard for housing, ethnicity, religion, income, or access to other resources. We believe that access to food is a right and throwing edible food into our solid waste system is wrong. We encourage recipients to volunteer as they are able. We believe that working together accomplishes more than working alone, and building community and a sense of purpose benefits everyone.
