Food Assistance Resources

We live in a connected society, but it is hard to find trustworthy resources online. Reliable OneStop Services is passionate about connecting you to the best resources available.

Oregon Food Bank

We’re probably not what you expect when you think of a food bank. In Oregon, we do things differently. We started off like most food banks did back in 1988. That’s when Interagency Food Bank and Oregon Food Share merged to become Oregon Food Bank, and we distributed USDA Commodity Supplemental Food to over 200 hunger-relief agencies.

● Today, Oregon Food Bank collects food from farmers, manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, individuals and government sources.

● We distribute that food through a Statewide Network of 21 Regional Food Banks and approximately 1,200 food assistance sites serving all of Oregon and Clark County, Washington.

● It seems like a big job, and it is. We absolutely couldn’t do it alone. But, distributing food is not the entire job. Like we said – we do things differently in Oregon.

Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon

We are leaders in the anti-hunger movement. We envision an Oregon where everyone is healthy and thriving, with access to affordable, nutritious and culturally appropriate food. To bring that vision into reality, we raise awareness about hunger, connect people to nutrition programs, and advocate for systemic changes.

Our mission statement highlights the three strategies that are fundamental to address hunger at the scale of the problem and tackle the root causes: learn, connect, advocate.

This model–gathering and disseminating information, expanding access to key anti-hunger programs and engaging stakeholders in public policy reform–builds on our strengths and leverages the expertise of our partners and those impacted by hunger.

As a relatively small non-profit with 10 staff, we draw strength from a wide network of partners, advocates, leaders and donors across the state. From mayors to moms to chefs to doctors, people across the state join this movement in making change. Together, we can end hunger in Oregon.

2.1.1info

Our nonprofit contact center launched in 1980 as a crisis line. In 2004, we transformed into a 211 service, providing callers with referrals to basic needs programs such as food, shelter, health care and more.

Since then, we’ve expanded: consumers can still reach us by calling 211, but they can also text or email, or use our mobile app and online database. And we now serve all 36 Oregon counties and Clark, Cowlitz, Skamania and Wahkiakum counties in Southwest Washington.

SummerMeals

During the school year, tens of thousands of Oregon children eat school meals each day. However, when school ends for the year, so does this important source of nutrition. The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP or aka Summer Meals) is meant to help fill that nutritional gap.

In Oregon, SFSP is administered by Oregon Department of Education Child Nutrition Programs (ODE CNP).

This website, summer meals marketing materials and other Oregon summer meal promotional efforts are a collaborative project of Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon and ODE CNP.
