Hunger in Oregon is at record levels. In just two years, visits to the Oregon Food Bank Network increased 51%, reaching 2.9 million visits last year. This means that food assistance sites are serving more people than ever before.
Every day, families are forced to make impossible choices — rent or groceries, gas or dinner, medicine or meals. Today, 1 in 7 people and 1 in 6 children in Oregon face food insecurity statewide. No one in our community should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from. Last year, our network of 21 regional food banks partnered with more than 1,200 food assistance sites in every corner of the region to distribute over 98 million meals.
To meet this rising need, Oregon Food Bank partners with organizations and community members to raise critical funds to support our neighbors. Through Oregon Food Bank's partnership with iHeart Media, Fred Meyer, and Toyota, Fill-the-Truck makes it possible for community members to collaborate with these organizations to make an impact. Funds raised through this event go directly towards supporting Oregon Food Bank’s mission to address hunger and its root causes.
Together, we can end hunger and its root causes for good!
