Hunger Relief Agencies
Northwest Agencies Oregon Food Bank  Oregon
Food Bank distributes food to food banks, food pantries and soup kitchens
throughout Oregon and Clark County, Washington. Last year, these OFB
sites provided emergency food assistance to one in six Oregonians,
which means an estimated 652,000 people ate meals prepared from emergency
food boxes. Forty-one percent of those were children. Last year, the
Oregon Food Bank network collected 46 million pounds of food throughout
Oregon and Clark County, Washington. Oregon Food Bank also advocates
for public policies to help low-income people avoid the need for emergency
food…because no one should be hungry.Idaho Food Bank  The
Idaho Foodbank in an efficient and caring manner, provides food, information,
and supportive services to hungry people through partnerships with
nonprofit agencies, the food industry, government, volunteers, corporations,
and individuals by serving as a central clearinghouse for donated
and purchased food. Montana Food Bank Network  We
are working to eliminate hunger in Montana through food acquisition
and distribution, education and advocacy. For every 100 Montanans,
16 live at or below the poverty level established by the government.
With a median annual household income of $23,000 (near the bottom
of the nation), Montana reported the 2nd highest rate of increase
in childhood poverty in America.
