Oregon Food Bank
Mission
To eliminate hunger and its root causes… because no one should be hungry.
Bottom Line for Portland
We know that hunger is not just an individual experience; it is also a community-wide symptom of barriers to employment, education, housing and healthcare. That’s why we work systemically in our mission to end hunger in Oregon: we build community connections to help people access nutritious, affordable food today, and we build community power to eliminate the root causes of hunger for good. Your support helps us meet both the rising need for food assistance and advocate for the kind of systemic change we need to end hunger for good.

"I believe that if we help our neighbors today, this will be a better place to live for everybody. I am truly following my ikigai — my purpose in life — by giving back to the community and by giving to Oregon Food Bank.” – Anne Naito-Campbell
