Oregon Food Bank
We don't like to think that anyone goes hungry, ever, but it's especially distressing to hear about children not having enough to eat. One in five children in Oregon is food insecure, and don't always get sufficient food from their families. The Oregon Food Bank is hard at work on this issue.
Thirty four schools in the state that have an Oregon Food Bank School Pantry program where kids can get free lunches, families have access to on-site resources like cooking and gardening classes and information about other support programs available to them (WIC, SNAP, energy assistance, and free lunch). During summer months, when kids aren't getting school lunches, the Oregon Food Bank operates have Free Food Markets where families can get pantry staples, fresh fruits and vegetables.
