Why both food and funds matter
Food drives provide some of the healthiest and highest-quality food we receive. Food donations also provide a direct connection between donors and people who are hungry. Cash donations keep our freezers running and our trucks on the road. They also support innovative programs that address the root causes of hunger through advocacy and public education.
Oregon Food Bank makes efficient use of cash donations. For every dollar you donate, Oregon Food Bank can collect and distribute 6 pounds of food through its food distribution program.
