Together, we are building stronger, hunger-free communities

January 3, 2020 — Thank you for being part of the Oregon Food Bank family. Here are some highlights of what we accomplished together in 2019:

• • Each month 265,000 people facing hunger are able to get much-needed food through the Oregon Food Bank network.
  • More than 2,000 people participated in cooking and gardening education opportunities.
  • More kids and their families are avoiding hunger thanks to 50 School Pantries and 60 Free Food Markets.
  • More than a third of all food distributed to our network is now fresh fruits and vegetables.
  • More than 400 health care sites are now screening people for food insecurity and referring them to local resources.
  • We made real progress in addressing root causes of hunger and poverty — helping to pass legislation that strengthens anti-hunger programs and makes record investments in housing and homelessness initiatives.
