| Mission/ Specific Program Goals: | Since 1987, Marion-Polk Food Share has been "leading the fight to end hunger" as the Regional Food Bank serving Marion and Polk counties. In 2003-04, Food Share provided 4.2 million pounds of emergency food to 55 member agencies stretching from Grande Ronde and Dallas to Mill City, Silverton, and Woodburn. A total of 60,417 emergency food boxes and 337,847 meals were distributed, representing nearly a 24% increase over the previous year. We recently moved into a new facility and are committed to expanding our food resources in an effort to meet the growing need, while also further developing our food security program area. |
