Thirty four percent of those receiving emergency food are children. In addition to providing food to those in need, the Oregon Food Bank works to eliminate the root causes of hunger through advocacy, nutrition education, garden education and through working with communities to strengthen local food systems. Your donation to the Oregon Food Bank will make a positive impact to many in our community. For more information about the Oregon Food Bank and their programs go to www.oregonfoodbank.org.
