One Campaign, Three Ways to Strengthen Our Local Food System

The year-end campaign will raise funds in three phases, with each goal supporting a different element of HDFFA’s food access work.

$15,000 for Fill All Pantries: In partnership with Fill Your Pantry and the Bend Farmers Market, funds will help purchase locally grown food from Central Oregon farmers, ranchers, and food producers for distribution to community members facing food insecurity at the annual Fill Your Pantry event.
$10,000 for Protein Perks: Funds will help SNAP shoppers at the Bend Farmers Market access locally produced protein while supporting the local farmers and ranchers who produce it.

$50,000 for VeggieRx: Funds will support HDFFA’s free produce prescription program, which connects eligible participants experiencing food insecurity and managing diet-related health conditions with fresh fruits and vegetables, along with nutrition education and support.

Any funds raised beyond the $75,000 goal will directly support HDFFA’s three core program areas: Food Access, Agricultural Support, and Community Education. These programs help connect community members with nutritious food, provide resources and support to local farms, ranchers, and food producers, and increase awareness of the value of a strong local food system.
