Program areas at Oregon Food Bank
Oregon Food Bank acts as a convener, capacity builder and resource broker to support community partners of the Oregon Food Bank network across Oregon and sw Washington. Oregon Food Bank owns and operates a warehouse in multnomah county, serving as the hub for statewide receipts and distribution of federal commodities and corporate and private donations. Additionally, ofb owns and operates five regional Food banks, serving multnomah, clackamas, Washington, harney, malheur, tillamook, sherman, hood river and wasco counties. Through this robust network of partners, Food assistance is distributed at over 1200 sites, including schools, community centers, health care centers, homeless shelters, daycare centers, senior centers and churches, mosques & synagogues.
Oregon Food Bank believes that Food and health are basic human rights for all. We know that hunger is not just an individual experience; it is also a community-wide symptom of barriers to employment, education, housing and health care. Thats why ofb works on two fronts in its mission to end hunger in Oregon: we build community connections to help people access nutritious, affordable Food today, and build community power to eliminate the root causes of hunger for good.
