Both food and funds are important. Cash donations keep our freezers icy cold and our trucks on the road. They also support innovative programs that address the root causes of hunger through advocacy and education. Food donations from the public provide healthy, high-quality food for us to distribute to clients we serve. Food donations also provide a direct link between donors and people who are hungry.

Only six percent of each dollar donated goes toward administrative and fundraising costs. That means 94 cents of every dollar goes straight to fighting hunger and its root causes in our communities.

Oregon Food Bank’s online processing system allows you to make safe donations and purchases. We use state-of-the-art firewalls and the latest encryption technology, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), to ensure that no one can read your information as it travels to Oregon Food Bank’s donation or ordering system. A third party handles our online credit card verification process. This organization needs your name, address, credit card number, expiration date, and card security code to process your transaction. Its firewalls and encryption technology offer the highest level of security to ensure the confidentiality of your transaction.
