Resources and Action to Help End Summer Hunger

For families facing food insecurity, June has long marked a time when kids no longer have easy access to breakfast and lunch at school. Many parents and caregivers have to come up with at least 10 additional meals per week, per child.

This year, thousands of additional families are struggling to put food on the table as we recover from the impacts of COVID-19. Coupled with the added pressure of rising food, housing and fuel costs, the summer months are shaping up to be an even more difficult period for so many of us to make ends meet.

Many of our 1,400+ pantries, free food markets and meal sites are already seeing a sharp spike in demand for food assistance, with new families seeking help in numbers we haven’t experienced in more than a year. Our network of regional food banks is moving mountains to ensure nutritious food reaches communities throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington.

So whether you live in the city, the suburbs, or in our rural and remote areas, know that food is available this summer.

If you’re in a position to help, there are concrete ways to have an impact right now. We’re excited to partner with KPTV and Fred Meyer to raise awareness of these challenges and encourage action. Your support helps area pantries, free food markets and meal sites ramp up local efforts while school is out.
