Synopsis of key components of Oregon Food Bank's 2008-2012 strategic plan
Long-term vision
Everyone shall have the capacity for ready access to an ample, nutritious, affordable and appropriate food supply through traditional, non-emergency channels. The Oregon Food Bank Network distribution system will continue the recovery of grocery products that would otherwise be wasted to address disasters, individual emergencies, and to help qualified nonprofit organizations, which provide food as part of a broader range of services, to stretch their resources.
Goals
- Over a five year period, increase from 55.8 to 64.2-million pounds the volume of safe and nutritious food available annually for distribution through the Oregon Food Bank Network to low-income people.
- Increase food supplies and resources for low-income people to reduce hunger from 4.4 to 3.5 percent by 2013 in Oregon and southwest Washington by advocating policies, programs and actions that address the root causes of hunger and thereby enable this target population to achieve food security and economic stability.
- In collaboration with the OFB Network, annually strengthen the stability and capacity of RFBs and Local Agencies to equitably distribute incrementally larger amounts of food reaching 64.2-million pounds per year by 2013 to assist approximately 850,000 low-income people per year throughout Oregon and Clark County, Washington.
- Provide leadership in the development of OFB facilities, food repack and distribution system in order to enhance the efficiency and equity of distribution throughout the OFB Network
