4D Hunger Awareness - Cottage Grove Sentinel November 23, 2016
FOOD for Lane COunty Programs and Services
FOOD for Lane County’s hun-
ger relief efforts are focused on
providing food assistance and
increasing self-suffi ciency for
our neighbors living on limited
resources. Our mission of al-
leviating hunger by creating
access to food is accomplished
with tremendous support from
our community and through a
variety of innovative programs.
We continually work to develop
programs and services that
respond to the unique needs
of special populations, and we
work to ensure that these ser-
vices are delivered with respect
and compassion.
The entire food banking system
is built on partnerships and
collaboration. While FOOD for
Lane County administers many
of its own programs, we rely on
our network of approved part-
ner agencies to distribute the
majority of the food we collect.
All FFLC Partner Agencies are
their own, independent, non-
profi t or religious organization.
Most are staffed by volunteers
and are great places to work
and volunteer in direct service.
Food Boxes & Meals
FOOD for Lane County pro-
vides food to 30 emergency
food pantries. Most of the over
8 million pounds of food we
distribute annually is distribut-
ed in food boxes by emergency
food pantries. These pantries
provide a variety of fresh and
shelf-stable groceries to
low-income families and
individuals.
Getting a food box
A food box is a three-
to fi ve-day supply of
nutritionally balanced
groceries. Individuals and
households can get up to
16 food boxes a year.
• See if you meet the
USDA’s eligibility re-
quirements.
• If you have a permanent
residence, you will be
asked for proof of ad-
dress, such as a utility bill
with your name on it.
• If you do not have proof
of address or you are
without a permanent resi-
dence, you can still get food.
• You do not need to supply
identifi cation, a Social Security
number or proof of income to
get food.
• You can still get a monthly
food box even if you are receiv-
ing other benefi ts, such as food
stamps or WIC.
