statewide food bank and food-justice organization

Oregon Food Bank

Industry Food

An Oregon and Southwest Washington food-bank network centered on ending hunger and its root causes. It scores highly because it combines food distribution, policy advocacy, equity commitments, and lived-experience accountability rather than treating hunger as only a logistics problem.

Why this matters: Oregon Food Bank adds a central Oregon food-access institution and statewide calibration point for food justice and root-cause advocacy.
