SnowCap Community Charities Charity Profile

In the mid 1960's, the basic life needs of many in East Multnomah County were not being met by any agency or organization. About 25 area churches stepped in to help fill the void felt by so many residents. Snow-CAP -- Suburban Neighborhoods Operation Witness Community Action Program -- was born on January 16, 1967.

The purpose of Snow-CAP was to discover the real needs in the area, communicate them, and assist residents, church and community leaders to meet those needs individually and cooperatively. The organization adopted a philosophy that Snow-CAP will cross lines of race, religion, national origin, and economic status, hoping to coordinate and act as a barometer, correcting conditions which call for improvement.

SnowCap Community Charities Donation Information

Cash is needed to purchase fruits and vegetables, especially in the winter months. SnowCap can access food at the Oregon Food Bank for $.10 per pound. You can see why we say it is better to give cash rather than buy food. One can of soup is less than a pound in weight. SnowCap can get this can of soup from the Oregon Food Bank for less than $.10, but it would cost you much more to buy it and donate it. We can feed more people with your cash than with your cans.
