Working together to build stability across our communities
Partnering with Birch
Birch Community Services partners with more than 70 nonprofits, churches, and community organizations serving families across the Northwest — from Portland to the Oregon Coast and the Cascade foothills.
Our agency partners include food pantries, shelters, and community resource centers that help provide groceries and essentials to an estimated 65,000+ individuals each month through the food and products Birch provides.
Together, we turn surplus into stability, ensuring that nothing is wasted; not food, not potential, and not purpose.
How the Program Works
Weekly Shopping: Partner agencies shop once a week, typically receiving 2,000–10,000 pounds of product.
Service Fee: Each agency contributes a $150 monthly service fee to help cover shared operational costs.
Product Variety: Because our inventory depends on donations, we can’t take specific orders, but there’s always a wide selection of fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable goods available.
Collaborative Exchange: Many agencies also partner with Birch in reciprocal relationships, sharing and receiving product to extend impact across the region.
