Last month, volunteers from our Portland regional office spent the afternoon lending a hand at the Oregon Food Bank. Bergelectric volunteers labeled and packaged canned food, which helped provide an estimated 765 meals by volume. Thank you to all who volunteered for such a great cause.
The Oregon Food Bank Mission
To eliminate hunger and its root causes… because no one should be hungry.
We cannot eliminate hunger without eliminating the root causes of hunger. That’s why we work across systems to achieve our mission, and why we center racial and social justice in everything we do.
Every day, we work to:
Provide access to nutritious food for all. We collect and distribute food across Oregon and Southwest Washington, helping ensure free food is available to everyone experiencing food insecurity — especially those disproportionately harmed by unfair systems rooted in racism, classism and sexism.
Build community power to eliminate hunger and its root causes for good. Our work to address the root causes of hunger amplifies community voices and grows grassroots power. We are building a movement that brings together communities, volunteers, advocates and donors to raise our voices for real change.
Work across systems and within our network. Ending hunger means breaking down barriers that prevent equal access to housing, health care, employment and more. We partner with people and organizations across Oregon and southwest Washington to do this critical work together.
From Oregon Food Bank’s five main locations, we distribute food equitably across the region and work on policies and programs to address the root causes of hunger.
