Southeast Oregon Services provides food to 20 partner agencies in Malheur and Harney counties. In addition to providing emergency food, Southeast Oregon Regional Food Bank supports summer food programs for children, a local gleaning group and a number of other supplemental programs.
Southeast Oregon Services works to eliminate the root causes of hunger and poverty through SNAP (food stamp) outreach, nutrition and garden education and promotion of sustainable food systems. Southeast Oregon Regional Food Bank, located in Ontario, is one of the four regional food banks directly operated by OFB.
The challenge
Malheur and Harney counties are plagued by double-digit unemployment and poverty statistics (unemployment is close to 20 percent in some communities). An average of one in six people access food from an emergency food box.
