Oregon Food Bank’s mission is to eliminate hunger and its root causes… because no one should be hungry. We cannot eliminate hunger without eliminating the root causes of hunger. That’s why we work across systems to achieve our mission, and why we center racial and social justice in everything we do.

OFL uplifts leaders of color to enter public office and govern effectively across Oregon.GOVERNMENT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE PEOPLE IT REPRESENTS.Our policies and processes are also not as equitable, democratic, or effective as they could be, and we believe everyone should be able to participate in the responsibility of shared governance.Elected office and appointed boards and commissions have incredible impact on people's ability to thrive; it's why those officials should come from all communities — not just communities with access and wealth.WE FIND PEOPLE DEEPLY COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY.People who understand root causes and offer solutions. Then, those leaders pass legislation that works for everyone to thrive, be safe, and live their fullest life. Because when leaders share a lived understanding of the issues facing their communities, they are best positioned to help solve them.WE ARE DISRUPTIVE, EFFECTIVE, AND AUTHENTIC.To recruit better leaders, find better policy, and build consensus we can't just be innovative — we have to be disruptive. We believe innovation is improving the existing way of doing things: we work to make old ways obsolete by doubling down on our values.Grounded in principles of equity, representation, and racial justice, our work is built on disrupting the ideas of who is best positioned to lead and how leaders are found. We will build local networks and leaders to leverage change at the state and national level. Show less
