A line of people stretched through the Park Blocks in the middle of the Portland State University campus. Passers-by might have thought they were signing up for classes or waiting to buy concert tickets. But the people in this line were waiting for free fruits and vegetables provided by Harvest Share, an Oregon Food Bank program.
Portland college students needing emergency food? It shouldn't have to be that way.
Believe it or not, hunger is a constant for many students who are facing the cost of rising tuition and housing. But thanks to your support, Oregon Food Bank was able to connect with PSU’s Committee for Improving Student Food Security, and now we're improving these students’ access to nutritious food.
Your contributions to Oregon Food Bank are what make programs like this possible. Every dollar you donate to Oregon Food Bank stays in Oregon and Clark County, WA, and goes to help people like these students who are facing hunger.
Wonderful things happen when we all pitch in as a community. Thank you so much for your donations, and for helping to nourish the bodies and minds of tomorrow's leaders!
