Oregon Food Bank

Mission

To eliminate hunger and its root causes… because no one should be hungry.

Bottom Line

We know that hunger is not just an individual experience, but also a community-wide symptom of barriers to employment, education, housing and healthcare. That’s why we work systemically in our mission to end hunger in Oregon: we build community connections to help people access nutritious, affordable food today, and we build community power to eliminate the root causes of hunger for good. Your support helps us meet both the rising need for food assistance and advocate for the kind of systemic change we need to end hunger for good.

"I believe that if we help our neighbors today, this will be a better place to live for everybody. I am truly following my ikigai — my purpose in life — by giving back to the community and by giving to Oregon Food Bank.” – Anne Naito-Campbell

Partner(s)

We are excited and grateful to partner with SnowCap this year, a strong partner in Oregon Food Bank's equity and root cause work. This incredible organization is committed to provide food, clothing, advocacy and other services to families facing hunger and hardship in East Multnomah County. Now more than ever, it is time to uplift them!
 

1 in 6 people in our state are at risk of going hungry. Hunger happens in all corners of our state, in rural, urban and suburban communities. Even if it impacts each of us differently, hunger connects us. When we don’t have enough to make ends meet, we’re forced to make impossible decisions like choosing between buying groceries or medicine. Food insecurity shows up in everyday moments like stretching groceries, skipping meals, or wondering whether there will be enough. No one in Oregon should have to choose between groceries, healthcare, childcare and rent. Join the movement to Rethink Hunger--whether it’s volunteering, donating or advocating for policy change, there are many ways we can all make a difference so that everyone in our communities has access to food.
 

Thank you to Bob's Red Mill and People's Food Co-op for being our corporate sponsors this year!
