Nourish a Family: Food Vouchers
No family should go hungry. We offer grocery vouchers to single parents in the Portland metro area to ensure nutritious meals.
More Than Just a Meal
For a single parent, grocery shopping often involves painful math. Will there be enough for fresh vegetables? Can we afford meat this week?
We know that many parents skip meals so their children can eat. This invisible hunger creates stress and impacts health. We believe every parent deserves the dignity of choosing nutritious food for their family without panic.
"The Tolú Foundation was born from lived experience. We understand the quiet struggle of an empty fridge. We provide immediate relief so you can focus on your family, not your hunger."

Dignified Grocery Support
We provide food vouchers for single parents that work just like gift cards. This allows you to shop at local stores (like Fred Meyer, Safeway, or WinCo) for the specific dietary needs of your children.
Our Approach:
- Choice: You buy what your family actually eats and needs.
- Nutrition: We encourage purchasing fresh produce, proteins, and dairy.
- Immediate Relief: Vouchers can often be distributed quickly to bridge a gap between paychecks.
Note: We are not a food bank. We provide the financial means for you to shop for yourself with dignity.
