Food Security
is Top Priority
c o n t i n u e d f r o m page 4
Fred Meyer, Whole Foods, and
Albertsons — 15 percent from the
USDA from Farm Bill credits, 13
percent is purchased with money
that is donated to the organization,
and 16 percent comes from food
drives.
Becky Leonard, co-owner with
her husband of downtown food cart
DC Vegetarian, holds a food drive
every Thanksgiving.
“We deal with food every day,
and see waste. This is our way to
make up for the stuff that we do the
rest of the year that might not be as
friendly,” Leonard said. “The food
bank does great outreach in Or­
egon, and is always accepting food.
They make it really simple to donate
through them.”
Thanksgiving was just the start
of the busiest food drive season,
said Kempe-Ware. She added that
she’s been told by OFB CEO Rachel
Bristol that food drive donations
are down right now, but will hope­
fully pick up closer to Christmas.
The food bank is always looking for
donations, big or small, food or
monetary.
The most wanted foods are pea­
nut butter and other nut butters,
canned or dried beans and peas,
canned and boxed meals, pasta, rice
cereal, canned fruits and vegetables,
100 percent fruit or vegetable juice,
cooking oil, low-fat and low-sugar
products, shelf-stable milks, and
canned meats such as tuna, chicken,
and salmon.
The Oregon Food Bank’s reach
also extends beyond Oregon and
Southwest Washington.
On Dec. 13, President Obama
signed the Healthy, Hunger-Free
Kids Act of 2010 into law, updating
the school lunch program, improv­
ing after-school and child-care food
programs, and working toward end­
ing obesity in children.
Jeff Kleen, public policy advo­
cate with the Oregon Food Bank,
had worked for the last two years on
seeing the legislation get through
Congress. Kleen met with Rep. Wu,
D-OR, and other members of Con­
gress or their staff to raise aware­
ness for the act.
“We were concerned about the
House passing it. We knew if it
wasn’t passed by the end of this
congressional session, all our work
would’ve been for naught,” Kleen
said. “W e’re pleased to see Con­
gress pass a strong child nutrition
bill and for the president to sign it
into law.”
Next in his advocacy work will be
seeing that more aid will go to those
in need, through the Emergency
Food Assistance Program, the next
Farm Bill, and others.
“ We need strong public a s­
sistan ce in ad d itio n to e m e r­
gency food d istrib u tio n ,” K leen
said. “To end hunger, i t ’s going
to tak e a stro n g p a rtn e rsh ip
betw een governm ent and p ri­
vate c h aritie s like the O regon
Food B ank.”

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON
REQUEST FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES:
DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK PLAN FOR
OFF-CAMPUS PROPERTY AT WALNUT STATION
The University of Oregon is soliciting proposals from professional
developers to create a multi-phased physical development plan
for U0 and U0 Foundation property.
As currently envisioned, the project includes creation of a physical
development framework plan for the entire former Romania block
and the former 0D0T/DMV lands with a business plan for the
construction and ongoing management of this property. It is likely
that the fully developed property will consist of more than one
building which should be initially be placed on the UO's Romania
property. The development framework plan will identify at least
two scenarios based on market forces (possibly combined with
university uses) for the properties for the next thirty years resulting
in ongoing income that pays for the cost of the land; relocation of
existing university uses, if needed; the development; and, ideally,
additional income for the UO.
Firms may obtain the RFP by registering electronically at the
following web address:
