Feeding our neighbors more than a meal

Get Involved!

 

The need for food assistance programs is greater than ever
Hunger was a problem in the Portland area before the pandemic but COVID-19 has worsened existing disparities and inequities in communities throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington. In the past year alone, nearly 1.7 million people accessed emergency food assistance through the Oregon Food Bank Network—double pre-pandemic numbers. New figures from Feeding America underscore the need for continued action to combat hunger nationwide: at least 60 million Americans turned to food banks, free food pantries, meal sites and other nonprofit food assistance programs for support throughout 2020.

“More than 300,000 Oregonians have been diagnosed with COVID-19. Thousands have lost loved ones. And the economic disruption has led to hunger, with nearly 1 in 5 of us facing food insecurity in the pandemic’s wake,” said Susannah Morgan, Oregon Food Bank CEO. “When it comes to hunger in our communities, we’re nowhere near out of the woods — and the need for anti-hunger action has never been greater.”
