FOOD For Lane County
Established in 1984, FOOD For Lane County (FFLC) is a private, nonprofit food bank dedicated to reducing hunger by engaging our community to create access to food. We accomplish this by soliciting, collecting, growing, rescuing, preparing, and packaging food for distribution through our network of social service agencies and programs. We also work on public awareness, education and community advocacy to encourage long-term community-based solutions to hunger. As the second largest food bank in Oregon, we are a member of both the Oregon Food Bank network and Feeding America, the national food bank collaborative. With 60 employees and a volunteer Board of Directors, we serve the emergency food needs for a population base of 382,000 people living in 4,722 square miles comprising both urban and rural Lane County. FOOD For Lane County has developed a variety of innovative programs to address hunger and food security in Lane County. From addressing childhood hunger to providing food assistance for seniors, people with disabilities, the working poor and the unemployed, we are committed to providing programs and services to meet the needs of diverse populations. FOOD For Lane County is an equal opportunity provider.
