We’re Electrifying!
PDX Diaper Bank was selected to receive funding from Portland General Electric for the purchase of a high-top electric cargo van! This project has been made possible by DEQ’s Oregon Clean Fuels Program via the PGE Drive Change Fund. The next National Drive Electric Week is Sep 27– Oct 6, 2024.
Electrification in the Warehouse!
We’re excited to announce that we’ve also received funding from PGE’s Drive Change Fund through the Clean Fuels Program to purchase an electric forklift! The right tools make all the difference, and this forklift will help us tremendously in getting diapers to families in need. Thank you, Portland General Electric and Oregon DEQ, for supporting this crucial project in 2024. Together, we can end diaper need.
