Everyone should have ready access to an ample, nutritious, affordable and appropriate food supply through traditional, non-emergency channels.

Actions

Oregon Food Bank is a non-profit, charitable organization that serves as the hub of a statewide network of more than 935 hunger-relief agencies throughout Oregon and Clark County, Wash. OFB recovers food from farms, manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, individuals and government sources. It then distributes that food to 20 regional food banks across Oregon, 16 of which are independent nonprofits. OFB directly operates the four regional food banks that, in turn, distribute food to more than 380 hunger-relief agencies in Washington, Multnomah, Clackamas, Clark, Malheur, Harney and Tillamook counties. OFB also works to eliminate the root causes of hunger through advocacy and public education
