Together we can end hunger
"Solving hunger and its underlying causes is a question of the values we demonstrate as a community. It's how we respond to the needs of our neighbors--our children, our senior citizens, our disabled and our working poor.
"One person alone can't solve the problem. But together, we can eliminate hunger. I invite you and every citizen in Oregon and Clark County, Wash., to do whatever you can to fight hunger and its root causes ... because no one should be hungry."
—Rachel Bristol, OFB CEO

Make a difference
You can make a difference
Donate funds
Leave a legacy through planned giving.
Donate food
Most food—about 53 percent—comes from the food industry—the
people and businesses who have a hand in the production and distribution
of the food
supply.
About 16 percent of food donations come from food
drives. Hundreds of groups and individuals organized food
drives to raise more than hundreds of thousands of pounds of food and thousands
of dollars to fight hunger. Organize
your own event.
Donate goods and services
We need to move and store nearly everything we receive. Our needs include packaging, boxes, transportation and storage.
Volunteer
We couldn't do our work without our fabulous volunteers. Volunteers
at our Portland and Hillsboro locations contributed more than
93,000 hours last year. That equals 45 full-time employees.
