Working to end hunger and its root causes... because no one should be hungry.
About us
Oregon Food Bank's mission is to eliminate hunger and its root causes ... because no one should be hungry. We believe that hunger starves the human spirit and that communities thrive when people are nourished. We work with a cooperative, statewide network of partner agencies to distribute emergency food to hungry families, helping 740,000 people who experience hunger every year. We fight hunger's root causes through public policy advocacy, nutrition and garden education to help people become more self-sufficient and resourceful, and by bringing communities together to strengthen local and regional food systems. Join our movement to end hunger. Become an Employee: You can make a difference daily, no matter what your strengths and interests are. As an employee you'll see first-hand the great need in our community and your work will have a direct impact in the lives of our neighbors experiencing hunger. Volunteer: We need your help! Our volunteers come together from all walks of life to do meaningful work and have fun doing it. Volunteers are critical to our mission. You repackage food donations, lead nutrition education classes, maintain our Learning Gardens, help out in our offices, lend a hand at events, and more! Advocate: Help us put the power of food to work. Through the concerted efforts of people like you, we can ensure that Oregon legislators get the message: providing food to those in need is a priority today, and addressing hunger's root causes is vital to eliminating hunger tomorrow. Donate: You have the power to make a difference for a neighbor in need. A gift of as little as $10 will feed a family of four for three to five days. Give Food: Food solves hunger today, by filling plates with nutritious meals. Whether it's a can of vegetables from your pantry, your donation is distributed through our network of hunger-relief agencies to the tables of hungry families in Oregon and Clark County, Washington.

"There are Afghans here in Oregon who do not have access to food stamps and I get many calls about our monthly food box donations with people saying that they need that support. Our staff and I get daily requests for more and more food boxes. When someone asks you for food, you know that they are struggling. Culturally, it is hard to ask for help and it can feel embarrassing for some. This is why Food for All Oregonians is a key to the success of Afghans in Oregon. Food is a human right and a need." Darwaish Zakhil, Afghan Support Network.

Are you one of the thousands of low-income Oregon families are leaving food money on the table this summer? The Department of Human Services said Monday that families with 320,000 children have received extra food assistance for the summer but families with another 30,000 children who qualify need to apply.

Thank you for supporting access to nutritious food today and helping build community power to eliminate hunger for good!
What a spectacular time volunteering at the Oregon Food Bank today! We helped pack over 4,000 lbs of mushrooms from our local farmers. These mushrooms will be delivered to local food banks all over Oregon for those in need. Also, I LOVED hanging out with my Providence Health Plan team and catching up on their lives, laughing and singing to the awesome Yacht Rock 🎶 playlist that Melissa was playing. A great day! #volunteerday #gratitude #bestteamever

We are grateful for the leadership of Movement Communications Academy! Some of our staff participated in a spokesperson training to prepare us to be strong messengers for the food justice movement.
Everyone in Oregon deserves access to food, no matter where we were born. Last week, we had the chance to lead over 70 staff from Oregon Food Bank and members of the Food for All Oregonians coalition, including Adelante Mujeres, Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon and PCUN in a spokesperson training to prepare them to be strong messengers for the food justice movement. #communicationscoaching #mediarelationstraining #mediatraining #strategiccommunications #foodjustice

🎉 We are thrilled that thousands of Oregonians have joined the movement to end hunger by sending emails to Governor Tina Kotek demanding she ensure our immigration status doesn't prevent us from accessing food! Have you joined us? 👀 You can right now! https://lnkd.in/gZKphYgZ.

ODHS estimates another 30,000 children in Oregon may be eligible for Summer EBT if they apply. "Many parents and caregivers must come up with at least 10 additional meals per week, per child," Sammi Teo, Public Policy Advocate at the Oregon Food Bank said. “Last year, we saw 1.9 million visits to food assistance sites through the Oregon Food Bank Network. For families facing food insecurity, June has long marked a time when kids no longer have easy access to breakfast and lunch at school." Share with your Oregonian friends who may qualify but need to apply by September 2!
Summer EBT is available for a limited time, thousands of families may be eligible but must apply

Summer should be about making memories of fun, adventure, friends and an abundance of fresh food, not hunger. But families face increased expenses and disruptions to meal access for their kids this time of year. Please give to our Summer Campaign to keep food flowing and grow the movement to end hunger for good!
