A Critical Role in Our

Community

At SnowCap, we change lives with the vital services we provide on a daily basis. Now, we are ready to seize another life-changing opportunity. With a brand-new home designed to double our capacity and unleash the full potential of our mission, we will transform what is possible for our families, volunteers and community.

The Next Chapter in Our Story of Community Action and Support

During normal operations, our building is bursting at the seams, striving to house a large food pantry while meeting the increasing demands on our Clothing Program. We simply don’t have the space to serve and support our low-income neighbors like we know we can—and, now more than ever, we need to step up. That’s why SnowCap is undertaking a campaign to build and sustain an additional facility that will significantly expand our capacity by separating our two largest programs—our food pantry and clothing program– and providing a much-needed community hub. Thanks to Covenant Presbyterian Church's generous support, we’ve already secured the land we need to expand.

With two sites and a new building designed specifically to meet our needs, we will be able to:
• Grow our clothing program
• Serve more people every day
• Reduce waste
• Improve and expand essential educational and community-building programs

SNOWCAP’S FUTURE COVENANT CAMPUS

Campaign Overview: SnowCap is conducting a $7.8 million campaign to expand its capacity to serve our low-income neighbors in East Multnomah County in response to our community’s need for essential food and clothing programs and a space to connect, heal, and thrive.

• Store and provide access to more, free clothing
• Provide more flexible times for families to visit our clothing warehouse and increase the time families have to browse and select clothes

• Create spacious shopping and lobby areas that are welcoming and warm, providing opportunities for people who may not need a food pantry (or are hesitant to visit one) to access our other resources

• Establish a permanent location for special programs and events, reinstating and expanding our class offerings and volunteer trainings, and gaining capacity for events and engagement that we’ve yet to even think of!

• Invite our community in to share our space, providing a place where other organizations can host classes, gatherings, and events

• Plan for our future, adding capacity that provides options for growth

Prior to Covid-19, our clothing program served 39,227 neighbors annually. For people who are consistently and persistently cash-strapped, especially those with growing children, clothing insecurity is an immediate need. It is the difference between clean and dirty underwear — or no underwear at all. It means that the jeans, coats, or shirts from a month ago are now too small on a sprouting child. With our new facility, SnowCap can help bridge this gap, offering more free clothing to our neighbors in need.
