From Oregon Food Bank:

At Oregon Food Bank, we believe that hunger starves the human spirit and that communities thrive when people have access to healthy, nourishing food. When you donate to Oregon Food Bank, you are helping the one in five of our neighbors across Oregon and Clark County, Washington who struggle to put enough food on the table.

Oregon Food Bank is effective and efficient – 93% of donations go directly to our hunger-relief activities. With your help, we’re building healthy, hunger-free communities.
