Good for your business, crucial for our communities
Whether you’re a grower, manufacturer, distributor or retailer, donating can help you solve a business challenge while directing safe, nourishing food to people who need it most.
Great for communities
We distribute donations that meet our quality standards to communities across Oregon and southwest Washington.
Better for the planet
Donating food that is safe to consume reduces your environmental impact and prevents food waste.
Oregon Food Bank receives about 25 million pounds of food each year from businesses across the food industry.
Common types of donations
Our warehouses are equipped to handle donations of all sizes — from full truckloads to a few cases. Contact us when the unexpected happens, including:
Overages and extra food
Extra inventory, discontinued products and unused ingredients are valuable donations for our community members.
Mislabeled products
When product labels have out-of-date branding or incorrect ingredient or allergen information, we can work to correct the labeling issue for distribution.
Aging or short-dated products
Retail-ready products nearing “best-by” dates can be distributed across our network so they can feed our communities while they are still safe to consume.
Rejected or mis-shipped products
You may also be able to donate product shipments that are rejected due to errors or timing issues.
