OUR MISSION: ALLEVIATE HUNGER BY CREATING ACCESS TO FOODWe are a private, nonprofit 501(c)3 food bank and accomplish our mission by soliciting, collecting, rescuing, growing, preparing and
packing food for distribution through a network of more than 150 partner agencies and distribution sites. FOOD for Lane County
carries the operational expense of food banking and processing with no fees to community partner agencies. We have built our
success on the ability to be agile and responsive to the community’s need since we were founded in 1984.
As the second largest food bank in Oregon, we are a partner of both the Oregon Food
Bank network and Feeding America, the national food bank collaborative. With only
62 employees, we rely on 77,500 hours of volunteer work equivalent to 37 FTE, a strong
volunteer Board of Directors, and our community partner agencies to serve Lane County’s
emergency food needs. We serve a population base of 369,519 people living within 4,722
square miles of urban and rural Lane County. Our stewardship has been recognized by
Charity Navigator as a top-rated nonprofit.

Food insecurity is a lack of access, at times, to
enough food for an healthy lifestyle. Too often
this means a difficult trade-off between important
basic needs such as medical care, housing, or
transportation, and nutritiously adequate foods.
Why do people experience food insecurity?
• Fixed income
• Underemployment
• Lack of affordable housing
• Cost of childcare
• Minimal or no benefits
• Chronic illness
• Student loan debt
• Medical bills
Financial support from donors allowed us to grow our capacity to serve seniors in our community. This past year we added Meals on Wheels to our list of innovative programs, serving clients in the Eugene area. We also increased the number of seniors served by our Senior Grocery Program.
Through programs like these, we are helping more seniors get the nutrition they need while allowing more seniors to stay in their homes. Thank you for helping us take care of those who took care of us.
