Ways to Help

There are many ways to help Farmers Ending Hunger.

Adopt-an-Acre

Adopt-an-Acre was created to get fresh food from the field to the mouths of the people who need it. Cash contributions from the urban community in support of this effort are used to cover the remaining costs associated with product sorting, canning and freezing to extend the life of fresh produce, processing wheat to make pancake mix, storing the food and delivering it to Oregon Food Bank.

Farmers Ending Hunger accepts dollar donations in any amount. All funds are applied directly to the processes and efforts to get food to those in need. Donate now and make a secure, direct financial contribution to Farmers Ending Hunger

Become a Partner

Farmers and Ranchers:

Growers can donate a portion of their farm production for distribution to the emergency food network at no cost to Farmers Ending Hunger. Funds donated to Farmers Ending Hunger go toward processing raw ingredients into shelf-stable food products like soup mix.

Farmers can help by dedicating a portion of farmland to growing useful crops including wheat, peas, potatoes and onions. Food commodities can also be donated. Contact Farmers Ending Hunger for more information about donating some of your harvest.

Processors:

Donated raw food crops must be processed into easily-stored and prepared food items. Farmers Ending Hunger raises funds to cover the cost of transporting locally grown crops to processors who prepare and package them into food products like soup and pancake mix for Oregon Food Bank. Some of these services are donated by local food processors. Without their help, most donated raw food crops would never make it to the tables of hungry Oregonians.
