Clackamas Service Center

One of our grocery store partners called, asking If we could pick up food that another agency was unable to pick up.

Clackamas Service Center jumped in and did an extra pick up. With it being the end of the day, our Executive Director couldn't let these flowers go to waste and connected with Arcadia Senior Living and delivered these beautiful bouquets. It just happened to be that the senior center is having a Mother's Day event tomorrow and needed flowers! At our core, this is who CSC is: we show up for our community.

Local elections have a real impact on local issues, including hunger, poverty, housing, education, and so much more! If you haven't, register to vote now so that you can help shape the future of your community.

Tuesday is the deadline to register for Oregon’s May 19 primary election Oregonians will nominate gubernatorial candidates and decide the fate of proposed gas taxes, among other things.

Are you up for some spring cleaning? Our clothing racks could use a little love!

As the season changes, we need to restock - especially on basics and layering pieces like t-shirts, sneakers, sweatshirts, pants, and rainjackets.

Clothes for all ages and sizes are welcome, and we are running low on just about everything, and some of our highest needs are for men's and unisex styles, close-toed boots and shoes in good condition, and jeans.

We are also happy to accept buttons, hats, scarves, and pieces of flair - many of our visitors love to accessorize and show off their own personal style!

Please drop off during our regular donation hours, Tues-Thurs 10am-4pm to 8800 SE 80th Ave, Portland OR 97206

or, drop off at our warehouse, Mon-Fri 9am-3pm to 8937 SE Jannsen Rd, Clackamas 97015

or, drop off at an Embold Credit Union collection bin at their McLoughlin or Sunnyside locations - check their website for weekday and Saturday hours!

Look who just happened to stop by our food drive last week - Oregon City Mayor Denyse for OC!

This time last Friday, we collaborated with Oregon Food Bank, Toyota, iHeartRadio, and Fred Meyer to run a food drive to benefit folks facing food insecurity across Clackamas.

So many lovely neighbors, including Mayor McGriff, stopped by and shared some of our most-requested shelf-stable food items, from canned tuna to boxed mac and cheese.

Thanks to all involved for making this event happen, and to our donors for the almost 400 lbs of donations we collected in just a couple hours!

Please join us this Friday from 4-6pm at the Oregon City Fred Meyer and help us fill our pantry! Last year, this collection brought in 11,000 lbs of food for Oregon Food Bank partners like ourselves - can you help them beat this record?

1839 Molalla Ave, Oregon City, OR 97045

Some of the items we need most right now include:
Nut butters
Canned or pouch tuna, salmon, or chicken
Canned soups or stews
Boxed cold cereals
Non-perishable, individual kid snacks (cracker packages, dried fruit, etc)
Baby / body wipes
Razors & shaving cream

We're thrilled to be part of this special event and partnership between Toyota, Fred Meyer, iHeart Radio, and Oregon Food Bank. More information at toyotafillthetruck.com

P.S. Can't make it to this event? Stop by our warehouse location with donations, 9am-3pm, Monday-Friday: 8937 SE Jannsen Rd, Clackamas, OR 97015
