Northwest Human Services is a non-profit providing community health services to the Salem and surrounding areas. BottleDrop funds support our HOST youth program.
Our HOST program (Health, Housing, Shelter, Transition), aims to outreach and support transitional-aged homeless youth (18-24 years old). HOST is comprised of two programs, the Resource & Engagement Center and a Transitional Living Program (TLP). The Resource Center provides basic needs (food, laundry, showers, clothing, etc.) and supportive services (case management, transportation, etc.) Monday through Friday. TLP is a multi-phase, commitment based program, offering 14 dedicated youth overnight shelter, intensive case management and skill building, and access to our staff and resources 24 hours/7 days a week. Combined our HOST programs offer a safe space for young people to set goals, plan for their future, and connecting to community resources.
Funds raised via the BottleDrop help support our employment training program (Together We Can), healthy activities, incentives, and supports/fees (drivers education, ID's, work clothes, hygiene items, etc.).
Together, we can end hunger!
Our mission is to eliminate hunger and its root causes…because no one should be hungry. At Oregon Food Bank, we hold people experiencing hunger and its root causes at the center of all we do. At its heart, Oregon Food Bank’s story is one of building community. We build community connections to help people access nutritious food today, and we build community power to eliminate the root causes of hunger for good. We believe in a future without hunger, where all communities prosper.
Donations to Oregon Food Bank support food acquisition and distribution that enables the Oregon Food Bank network to provide approximately 80 million free, nutritious and culturally appropriate meals through regional food banks and partners. Every $1 donated creates 3 meals!
Oregon Food Bank is a Network of 21 Regional Food Banks and 1,400+ Partner Food Assistance Sites that touch rural, urban and suburban communities in every corner of our state. With a focus on building the power of food as a shared human experience that connects us all, we have a unique role in mobilizing action to support the long-term health and resilience of our communities. Thank you for your support!
