Food Insecurity in Oregon
- It is estimated that about 1 million Oregonians are food insecure – that equals close to 1 in 4 people experiencing food insecurity.
- At the end of 2019, around 10% of households statewide experienced food insecurity. In 2020, due to the economic crisis related to the COVID pandemic, food insecurity rose to at least double what it was.
- An estimated 25% of Oregonians experienced food insecurity in the last year.
- Hunger is at its highest level in almost a century - we are currently experiencing rates of hunger that equal those of the Great Depression in the 1930s.
- In 2020, food pantries that are part of the Oregon Food Bank network shared 57.7 million meals with community members in need.
