Gifts don’t always have to be about money. You can contribute in many meaningful ways—donating time, volunteering, or supporting a partner organization. Each act helps build a future where hunger doesn’t exist.
The Community Cultivators and Changemakers programs are all about inclusivity. They aim to recognize various types of businesses that support the Oregon Food Bank. This includes not just large corporations but also small and mid-sized businesses, particularly those owned by BIPOC leaders. These programs acknowledge that help can come in different forms: advocacy, volunteering, or creative contributions.
Traditional donor programs often focus on big donations and brand visibility, which can overlook the efforts of smaller businesses and organizations. By shifting the focus from just money to the lived experiences of those facing hunger, we can create a stronger movement dedicated to ending hunger for good.
According to a recent survey by the Oregon Food Bank, nearly 1 in 5 Oregonians face food insecurity. This highlights the importance of community involvement and the need for diverse contributions. Support can be as simple as organizing a local food drive or volunteering at a community kitchen. Each effort counts in the bigger picture of fighting hunger.
Our valued partners share this vision for resilient, hunger-free communities. Together, we can make a difference and address the root causes of hunger. Check out the Oregon Food Bank to learn more about how you can get involved.
