For many families in our community, the biggest struggle isn’t just paying the bills—it’s putting a nutritious meal on the table. At Lilies Foundation PDX, we believe that food is more than sustenance; it’s comfort, connection, and care.
Last month, we met The Ortiz Family, who had recently lost their main source of income. They were trying to stretch what little they had to feed their three children. Through our food support program, we provided fresh produce, pantry staples, and prepared meals. What started as a simple delivery turned into a shared dinner, where volunteers and the family laughed, prayed, and connected.
Why Food Matters
A warm meal nourishes the body, but it also tells someone, “You’re not alone.” For those struggling with loneliness, grief, or financial stress, this message can be life-changing.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat…” – Matthew 25:35
When we feed others, we’re not just meeting a need—we’re building a community where no one goes hungry in body or spirit.
