Services

Care To Share coordinates assistance to families and individuals seeking emergency food and other basic needs.

Care to Share's primary service is to intake telephone requests for emergency food, scheduling the caller at a nearby church food pantry for food pick-up or delivery (available to select zip codes only). Churches use their volunteers to assist in deliveries and distribution of the food at their locations. Most churches supply food that lasts 3-5 days.

Mission & History

Care To Share was founded in 1985 to address a growing community need observed by several local churches. They established a co-op with local food pantries and the Oregon Food Bank (OFB). Care To Share now coordinates the food pantry services and provides administrative services, serving over 12,000 families a year.

The Beaverton Resource Center and Care To Share recently announced a new partnership to better serve the community. Care To Share naturally fits within the umbrella of services offered by the Beaverton Resource Center, coordinating assistance to community members seeking critical services.

Collectively we can expand our reach to more residents, directly connecting them to food assistance through Care to Share as well as linking them to the Beaverton Resource Center's on-site partners as needed, like the Beaverton School District HELP Center, Project Access Now, and Safe Families for Children.

This collaboration of social services is the foundation of both the Beaverton Resource Center and Care To Share and enables us to better serve our neighbors in need.
