​SnowCap does NOT have funding to help with Portland General Electric (PGE) or Pacific Power bills at this time. 

The following are services we were providing prior to COVID-19:

Food Assistance

Food is available at SnowCap's shopping style pantry. SnowCap is located behind The Rockwood Center (formerly the Rockwood United Methodist Church) at 17805 SE Stark.

If you are housed, please bring proof of address (POA) that is dated within the last 30 days.  Usually, this is a utility bill or other postmarked mail received by the person at the address they list on their application. You may also show an electronic version of a utility bill on your phone.   Please bring your own bags or boxes. 

SnowCap serves people who currently live east of 82nd and within Multnomah County so POA is required for every visit.

Clothes for the Whole Family

We have a small clothes closet of donated clothes for the whole family. Blankets are sometimes available in the winter.

OUR CLOSET IS CLOSED DUE TO COVID-19.

Mobile Food Pantry

SnowCap brings food to low income schools and apartment complexes to reach children whose families are unable to get to our shopping style pantry.  These food boxes are convenient, but not nearly as good as shopping for your own food at the pantry.

Good Neighbor Day (Formerly Community Basket)

Good Neighbor Day, a type of gleaning program, distributes boxes on the 2nd Thursday of each month at SnowCap between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m.  Participants receive a variety of foods.   If you would like to participate in this program, please bring your Link2Feed number  and bags/boxes to carry your items home in.

Back to School

SnowCap works with local schools to provide school supplies.  School clothes are available from the clothes closet.

Community Garden

Low income families can raise their own vegetables in raised beds full of good planting mix.  Water, greenhouse space and gardening classes are provided. Gardeners give back by giving 10% of their harvest to the pantry.
