Marion Polk Food Share’s Network of Sharing
Marion Polk Food Share
is part of a statewide food banking system of 20 regional affiliates of Oregon Food
Bank, a member of the America’s Second Harvest national food bank network. Through
this network, Marion-Polk
Food Share receives portions of large, national corporate donations and
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) surplus commodities. These foods supplement
what Food Share collects locally from individuals, corporations and community groups
who donate food and support food drives.
Marion-Polk Food Share
serves the emergency food needs of Marion and Polk counties – an area that covers
1,945 square miles, with a population of 362,000 – and touches the lives of almost
70,000 individuals each year, nearly half of them children. That’s about 18 percent
of the two-county population.
Marion-Polk Food Share
– supported by thousands of volunteers and donors – collects, sorts, stores and
distributes over 4.8 million pounds of food annually to a network of 73 local service
providers who distribute food to hungry people in their neighborhoods.
Throughout our 20-year history, the mission of Marion-Polk Food Share has been constant ... no one should
be hungry.
