News Release

City Of Tigard City Council Donates City Council Funds To Address Food Stability - 11/06/25

At their City Council meeting on November 4, the Tigard City Council voted to donate $10,000 of their City Council funds to address food instability for the Tigard community.

 

The City will provide these funds to Packed with Pride as a match to donations from businesses and the community, up to $10,000. Packed with Pride is a food support program for students and families organized by The Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools, in partnership with the school district and Oregon Food Bank.

 

“I'm proud of our City Council for responding to this moment of need,” said Mayor Yi-Kang Hu. “One in six Tigard residents faces food insecurity, and that is unacceptable.  No one in our city should have to worry about where their next meal comes from. I know our community will step up, as we always do, to make sure every family has what they need.”

 

Packed with Pride, as well as other food pantries and service providers, have seen an uptick in people seeking support. Just last week, Pack with Pride reported 33 new families sought food assistance, and the organization saw its busiest day ever – feeding approximately 1,000 people.

 

The City invites individuals, families, businesses, and organizations to consider making a donation to a community service organization in support of food stability during these uncertain times.

 

“We all benefit when community comes together to support one another. This is a great opportunity for people to help,” added Acting City Manager Emily Tritsch.

 

Donations made to Packed with Pride in November will be matched dollar for dollar until November 20 and can be made here.
