Weekly update on incoming donations

Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon will be connecting with communities across the state to better understand the experiences of Oregonians navigating food insecurity and SNAP.

Oregon Food Bank will no longer be providing ServSafe certification to partner agencies and their volunteers, but you are able to switch to the Oregon Food Handlers card when your certificate has expired.

CLOSURES & CANCELLATIONS

Planned Closures:
If your site will be closed for an upcoming holiday or other planned reason, please email mwcs@oregonfoodbank.org or your Strategist. We'll update Food Finder and alert the Warehouse that you will not be placing an order (if that's the case). 

Emergency Closures:
If your site has to close unexpectedly within 24 hours of your delivery or scheduled distribution time, please email emergencyresponse@oregonfoodbank.org. This should be used if you have a scheduled ordered submitted and need to alert Operations that you cannot receive your order. This email goes to our Operations Team, including Transportation and Inventory, as well as the Metro Team. Emergency closures include inclement weather (heat or cold), unexpected building issues, staff illness, etc.
