“We’ve done this for 25 years now and are so gratified by the support we receive from our guests, said Kirk Hanna, Owner and Operator of Mt. Hood Skibowl. “Last year Skibowl guests donated over 8,000 pounds of food for emergency relief, making a significant difference in the lives of Portland area families and individuals. We are hoping to collect even more this year since the need continues to grow.”
Since 1923, the Portland Police Bureau Sunshine Division has been providing emergency food and clothing relief to Portland families and individuals in need. Whether due to the loss of a job, domestic crime, illness, or victims of fire or disaster, the Sunshine Division has built an 89-year legacy of mobilizing quickly and efficiently to assist distressed Portlanders.
The Portland Police Sunshine Division and Skibowl have partnered since 1988 and in that time, Skibowl has collected more than 114,870 pounds of food, nearly 57 tons, for local people in need.
