Bergelectric Portland Donates 340 Pounds of Food to Feed’em Freedom’s Black Community Food Pantry This Holiday Season

This holiday season, Bergelectric Portland organized a canned food drive in support of our neighbors at Feed’em Freedom’s Black Community Food Pantry. Thanks to the generosity of our team, we collected and donated an impressive 340 pounds of food to help stock their pantry shelves and support families in need.

 

Feed’em Freedom’s Foundation Mission:

The Feed’em Freedom Foundation (FFF) is dedicated to fostering resilient food systems for Oregon communities by empowering Black agriculturists to lead and own our land stewardship, regional food security, and economic prosperity. As a Black-led Regional Food Hub, we focus on sourcing from Black and Global Majority producers, ranchers, fishers, and herbalists. We do value chain coordination, creating pipelines into community sourcing, and institutional and direct markets creating economic vitality for people of the global majority. Feed’em Freedom’s food hub work includes: land access,direct-market, capacity building,aggregating and distribution, while practicing a cooperative economic model. 


Our work includes a small Black-led small farm incubator, we support emerging Black farmers in growing and celebrating culturally specific ancestral foods. Our food pantry channels economic strength to our local food producers and provides culturally relevant and nutrient dense foods into the homes of families most in need. At the core of our work lies a commitment to food security and sovereignty, addressing immediate nutritional needs and the systemic inequities contributing to hunger.
