Food from a variety of sources moves through our warehouses to a network of twenty regional food banks, and through them to 740 direct service agencies in Oregon and Clark County, Washington. 2.9 Million emergency meals were served through network agencies. Each dollar donated means 6 pounds of food can be collected and distributed to network agencies.
Cash keeps our freezers running and our trucks moving food to network agencies.
Donating food also provides a direct connection between you and the hungry person who receives the food. Your food donation is tangible and reminds you that hungry people are just kile you and me. Cash donations get that food to agencies. Cash keeps our freezers running and our trucks on the road. Oregon Food Bank makes efficient use of cash donations.
