Feeding Umpqua is a part of The United Community Action Network that strives to eliminate food insecurity. Food Insecurity is defined as a lack of reliable access to enough affordable, nutritious food.

• More than 1 in 10 households are food
  insecure in Oregon.
• In Douglas County (DoCo), 13,750
  people are food insecure or 12.5% of the
  population.
• 17% of food insecure people in DoCo
  make too much $$ to qualify for
  government assistance.
• Over 18,000 people access the DoCo
  Emergency Food Network every month.

How Feeding Umpqua helps:

• Emergency Food Distribution through a
  network of 16 food pantries and 6
  community kitchens/shelters.
• Increasing Food Access to the most underserved parts of our county with a mobile
  pantry—The Outpost Mobile Food Center.
  In addition, free produce is distributed at
  ODHS offices during the summer/fall.
• Providing Nutrition Education to support
  youth and families with Food Hero @ the
  Farmers’ Market and meal kits for pantry
  visitors.
• Advocacy, networking, and working on
  community food system policy.
