The Reality of Food Insecurity in Central Oregon
Food insecurity is a pervasive issue in our region, worsened by limited fresh food access in rural areas and high urban living costs. Today, 1 in 8 people and 1 in 6 kids in Oregon and Southwest Washington face food insecurity, a rate that has remained high since the pandemic. Figures reflect data reported by Feeding America for the year 2023.

“Being on an extreme budget for food, I have never had an opportunity to try alternative healthy eating. Being taught how to sub out unhealthy for healthy has made a huge difference and learning how to store healthy foods to keep longer helps prevent me from buying cheap processed foods that aren't healthy at all.”
