Who We Are:
Oregon Food Bank (OFB) believes that no one should be hungry. Our mission is to eliminate hunger and its root causes. We believe that food and health are basic human rights for all. Hunger is not just an individual experience; it is a community-wide symptom of systemic barriers to employment, education, housing, and healthcare such as systemic racism, sexism, and cissexism. We work systemically to end hunger by fostering community connections, building community power, and strengthening networks of support to eliminate the root causes of hunger for good. We build community power to dismantle systems and policies that drive hunger and poverty. Oregon Food Bank is an Equal Opportunity Employer, encouraging applications from candidates who can increase the diversity of our organization and enhance our capacity to eliminate hunger. We value lived experience and seek individuals who have faced food insecurity or come from underrepresented communities. Learn more at oregonfoodbank.org/equity. Who You Are:
