Did you know that there's more to New Seasons Neighbor Rewards than great perks? It's also about giving back, supporting local communities, and making every shop a little more meaningful.
Being active members of the communities we serve is one of the more rewarding aspects of being a neighborhood grocery store—whether it’s sourcing seasonally and locally, supporting nonprofits, offering low-interest loans to partners, or paying it forward through our New Seasons Neighbor Rewards Gift It! program.
With Gift It!, Neighbor Rewards members not only earn points when they shop—they can also choose to gift all or part of their rewards (in dollar increments) to our featured local partners. These nonprofits share our mission of building community through good food—as we all focus on reducing food insecurity.
A heartfelt thanks to our Neighbor Rewards members who have contributed to the Gift It! program. Since we launched it in 2020, members have gifted more than $134,000 to local organizations.
We’re excited to announce this year’s beneficiaries: Kindness Farm, Milk Crate Kitchen, and The Nourish Program at Doernbecher.
Read on to find out more about these incredible organizations and how you can sign up to use your rewards to make a big difference in the community.
Milk Crate Kitchen
This grassroots nonprofit fights food insecurity in Portland by rescuing surplus food from farms, restaurants, and food hubs, then turning it into meals for communities in need—including low-income families, seniors, and members of BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ communities.
Kindness Farm
This regenerative, multicultural, queer community farm in SE Portland collaborates with communities that have been systematically excluded from essential resources, focusing its mission on three key pillars: providing access to land and environmental education, donating 100% of the food it grows, and fostering resilient, connected communities.
The Nourish Program at OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital
For nearly 100 years, OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital has advanced pediatric care and improved the health of children and families across the region. The Nourish Program ensures parents and caregivers of admitted children are free from hunger, so they can focus fully on supporting their child’s healing.
Every Oregonian should have access to healthy, affordable, and culturally appropriate food. And thanks to you and your Neighbor Rewards gifts, we have the great honor of supporting these incredible organizations on a mission to create greater food security.
Your rewards will be invested equally between Kindness Farm, Milk Crate Kitchen, and The Nourish Program at Doernbecher.
