Title
Oregon Food Bank
Description
"Don Wrenn knows hunger first-hand. When Don was in high school, his father -- the paymaster at a construction company -- was stricken with cancer, and his mother did the best she could to support Don and his two sisters with a low-wage job as a nurse's aide.
We're the hub of a statewide network of 894 hunger-relief agencies. We serve all of Oregon and Clark County in Washington.
Oregon Food Bank recovers food from farmers, manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, individuals and government sources. It then distributes that food to 20 regional food banks across Oregon. Seventeen are independent charitable organizations. OFB directly operates the three regional food banks serving the Portland metro area and southeast Oregon. Those three centers distribute food weekly to more than 300 food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and other programs helping low-income individuals in Clackamas, Clark, Multnomah, Washington, Malheur and Harney counties.
