The County of Multnomah is seeking a contractor to provide county‑wide hunger‑relief services by overseeing and supporting school‑based food pantries and free‑food‑market programs through the SUN Service System. The awardee will manage a network of 29 school sites, procure, store, and deliver approximately 2.34 million lb of food annually, and subcontract with existing SUN Community School providers to operate the pantries and markets.
