Our food industry partners play a vital role in the fight against hunger. In 2020, we received over 500,000 pounds of food from our local grocers, retailers, and farmers. We could not do this work without you.
Josephine County Food Bank recovers excess food and various products from many of our local food industry partners, including: Albertsons, Big Lots, Fred Meyer, Safeway, Walmart, WinCo, Umpqua, and many others who support our food recovery efforts.
