People love it for its longer shelf life, easy storage and consumption, and exceptional nutritional value.

NIBA Food Drive
Today you can make a difference for the neighbors in your community! Join NIBA as we launch our virtual food drive supporting Lift UP.
Have you ever not known where your next meal is coming from? No one in our community should go hungry. Lift UP’s mission is to reduce hunger and improve the lives of low-income residents in Northwest and Downtown Portland.
Between December 1st, 2022 to January 15th, 2023, our goal is to raise $7000. Will you help us get there?
Give Today
Every $5 equals 15 meals for a person in need. Meals for someone like Timothy, who currently is on dialysis. “The fresh produce in my delivered food box, keeps me eating healthier and feeling better,” Timothy says. “The doctor’s told me I need to be eating healthy, but there would be no way I could afford to eat this way, without Lift UP.”
Whether $5, $10, $25 or $50. It all matters in the fight against alleviating hunger in your community.
Let’s do our part!
