Meet the Equity and Racial Justice Education Team at Oregon Food Bank

The Equity and Racial Justice Education Team is fostered by the life, labor and love of a group of educators and equity practitioners. They hold different social identities, longevity within the profession, and wisdom that enables this work to remain steadfast in its mission and vision. Their woven experiences and knowledge create the conditions for others to learn, grow and develop by modeling their living values as a guide for new possibilities.
