Volunteers Pack Holiday Meal Boxes for Portland Police Bureau’s Sunshine Division

The boxes were filled with a holiday feast - mashed potatoes, stuffing, ham, rolls, and more.

Portland, OR. Advantis Credit Union and Safeway found two ways to support the Portland Police Bureau’s Sunshine Division this holiday season. One way was by loading food boxes for distribution to 3,000 families. The boxes were filled with a holiday feast including mashed potatoes, stuffing, ham, rolls, and more. The Sunshine Division provides free accessible food and clothing assistance to struggling local families and individuals year-round.

The boxes were filled with care.

Additional support for the nonprofit came in the form of sponsorship of the Winter Wonderland at Portland International Raceway. Over 43 tons of food has been donated to the Sunshine Division via Winter Wonderland.
