We're effective and efficient

Did you know...

• For every $1 you donate, Oregon Food Bank can collect and distribute 5 pounds of food through its food distribution program.
• For our recently completed fiscal year, less than 5 percent of our expenses went to fundraising and administrative costs. Examine our Financial Statement.
• We thank our fabulous volunteers for helping make us so efficient. Last year, volunteers in our Portland and Hillsboro facilities contributed more than 74,500 hours valued at $1.2 million. That equals 36 full-time employees. We couldn't do our work without our volunteers!
• During our first year in our new Meyer Memorial Trust Oregon Food Bank Building, we distributed 34-million pounds of food — nine million more pounds than the previous year. That was possible because of our efficient new building.
• We plan to do even more to fight hunger. Read our Strategic Plan.
