Oregon Food Bank runs 3 programs that aim to support producers in our communities. 

• Oregon Farmers Feeding Oregon Community(Grant applications closed for 2025) is a program funded by the USDA with the purpose of purchasing local and domestic food from socially disadvantaged producers to be distributed to underserved communities. 
• Community Producer Support Fund & Mini grant(grant applications will open spring of 2025) supports growers that represent communities disproportionately impacted by hunger -- Black, Indigenous, People of Color, Immigrants, Refugees, Trans and Gender Non Conforming, Single Caregivers --  through contracts to purchase foods (fruits, vegetables, dairy, eggs, fish, etc.) that are then distributed to communities impacted by hunger.  This fund also includes a mini grant portion to help invest in capacity building and small infrastructure investments for producers. 
• Native and Tribal Fisheries Fund (grant applications will open spring of 2025) supports fishers who identify as Native, Tribal and/or Indigenous within the State of Oregon, Washington, or Idaho who access the Columbia River with small infrastructure grants to  help with the harvesting, processing and delivery, or marketing of their product.

We aim to keep updates about these funds here on this page.
