Free the Food is a food drive model that relies on the Central Oregon community to fight hunger in their neighborhood. Anyone interested in donating can pickup a canvas bag from a participating drop site, fill the bag with non perishable food items, then drop the bag off at their site of choice.
Grab a bag
Our local Donation Sites are spread out across Central Oregon, offering free canvas bags available for anyone who is ready to help fight hunger in their community. Please call (541) 233-7252 to find a donation site near you.
Fill it up
During your next grocery trip, grab a few additional items to add to your Free the Food bag. We accept any unexpired non-perishable food items, but our most need items are canned soups, peanut butter, and canned fruits and vegetables.
Return to a drop site
Return your filled bag to any of our local donation sites. The drop site does not need to be the same location as your pickup site, so choose the location most convenient to you.
Do it again!
After dropping off your food donation, grab another bag and do it all again!
We could not do this work without the generous support of our community. Thank you for ensuring that every family in Central Oregon has access to safe, nutritious food.
