New facility enables Oregon Food Bank to operate more efficiently
From artwork to kitchen to warehouse to garden to edible landscaping, the message of Oregon Food Bank's new Meyer Memorial Trust Building is food.
Completed in December 2001, the facility combines statewide and local distribution centers and brings administrative offices and warehouse activities into one dedicated site.
The new building enables us to collect and distribute more food to our statewide network of regional food banks. In fact, during our first year in our new building, we were able to collect and distribute 34-million pounds of food, nine million more pounds than ever before.
Our Volunteer Action Center, Perishable Repack
Room and Learning Garden enabled individuals and groups to volunteer
more than 73,000 hours, valued at $1,178,200, during the last fiscal
year.
