PDX Concierge Delivery

Today marks one year since the launch of PDX Concierge! One year later, our team of 100 volunteers has completed over 500 deliveries across the Portland metro area, Salem, Eugene, and Roseburg. We are very grateful to keep our community safe and and plan to continue our efforts in the future.

Thank you to Beaverton School District for spreading the word about us!

Are you a student in need of volunteer service hours? PDX Concierge, started by Westview High School student Neel Jain, is a group of student volunteers who shop and deliver groceries free of charge for the elderly, immunocompromised, disabled,or others in need. The organization could use more help. Contact Neel if you're interested in signing up!

At PDX Concierge, we have worked with Oregon Food Bank and 211info to help those who are facing food insecurity or have tested positive for the virus and unable to leave their homes. Pictured are volunteers Nathan and Isabella making a run to a local pantry to deliver food to a family who were unable to afford their groceries and tested positive for COVID-19, preventing them from getting to a food bank.

Thank you to the PRM Foundation for the appreciation and $500 award! We really appreciate the recognition and are glad to be able to continue helping the community.

Congratulations to Neel Jain, a junior at Westview High School! Neel has been awarded a $500 Silent Servant Award from the Peter R. Marsh Foundation.

Neel created a local nonprofit called PDX Concierge. He and his friends shop for and deliver groceries to senior citizens who are unable to shop during the pandemic. Neel started by shopping for his own grandmother. “My grandmother has asthma, so I was helping her get her groceries, and I realized that there were probably a lot of other people who could use help.” Neel created a website and posted flyers around his neighborhood. To date, Neel and his 35+ volunteers have made 200 deliveries.

“Neel is an incredible student that never ceases to amaze me,” says Westview Principal Matt Pedersen. “He actually pushes our school to try to find ways to reach out and be servant leaders in our community.”
