The Portland Police Bureau Sunshine Division has been providing free food and clothing to local families and individuals in need since 1923. The Sunshine Division prides itself on it’s ability to mobilize quickly to help distressed and displaced individuals who have experienced job loss, domestic crime, illness, fire, or other disasters.

Houston’s is proud to donate sixteen cases of cold brew coffee and more than one hundred sixty cases of powdered smoothie mix to assist in local relief efforts. Houston’s donation totaled nearly 2,500 pounds. This product, along with other donations, is available made available at the Sunshine Divisions’ two locations in the Portland-Metro area. Donations are used to build food boxes that are kept at every local police precinct, and are made available 24 hours a day, through partnership with the Portland Police Bureau. Bulk food and food box contributions are passed along to more than twenty local hunger relief non-profits in Clackamas, Clark, Washington, and Multnomah counties.

Houston’s continues to look for opportunities to assist our local communities through organizations such as the Sunshine Division. The impact of our donations is intensified by organizations like this that take the product and spread it throughout both the local community and outlying areas. It’s heartwarming to know that we can utilize our vast resources to further assist individuals, children, and families of all sizes.
