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.

Had a wonderful time with Providence Health Plan and Woodruff Sawyer's Employee Benefits Practice partnering with the Oregon Food Bank to provide food to our neighbors. Together we provided over 3,800 pounds of food to the community! That's about 3,180 meals. The rising cost of housing and groceries are leading to a record number of visits to food banks, pantries and markets in Oregon. I can't wait to help even more when our Lake Oswego team host's our annual food drive later this year. Stay tuned for details on how you can help, too!

It's been a meaningful day helping Oregon Food Bank pack 5,925 pounds of carrots for 2,370 meals. Thanks to Outseer for supporting volunteer time, Matt Koprowski for designing our fun Volunteer t-shirt, and Portland teammates Vickie Valdez, and Adrienne Withington for their stellar efforts today.

The Food for All Oregonians (FFAO) Coalition has delivered over 1,100 handwritten postcards and over 1,500 emails from Oregonians from across the state to Governor Tina Kotek urging her to prioritize FFAO. On June 18, we delivered hundreds of these postcards to Rachel Currans Henry from the Governor's Office. A huge shoutout to Rachel for not only personally showing up to receive these postcards, but for helping us repack over 4,000 pounds of locally grown cherries with her son! Community members, youth and advocates from partner organizations, such as Adelante Mujeres and Afghan Support Network joined us to share with Rachel why Oregon needs FFAO. We hope our communities' voices will be heard and that the outpour of support for FFAO will translate into meaningful policy change. Learn more and email Governor Kotek at www.FoodForAllOR.org today!

Hunger isn’t just an individual experience; it’s a symptom of barriers to employment, housing, health care and more — and a result of unfair systems that continue to keep these barriers in place.

"Oregon Food Bank is deeply saddened by the City of Grants Pass v. Johnson ruling, which punishes our neighbors for simply trying to survive," said Loren Naldoza, Public Policy Advocate at Oregon Food Bank. “Criminalization will harm people — especially BIPOC communities and people experiencing poverty — and will make our homelessness crisis more difficult and expensive to solve. Housing insecurity isn’t just a housing issue — it’s a key driver of hunger." Read more: https://lnkd.in/gMbUcGQZ
