Where does your food come from?
As a part of the Oregon Food Bank network, we receive state and federal food support through our regional distributor, YCAP in McMinnville. However, the majority of our food comes from local donations. Monetary donations allow us to purchase food from local stores to fill any nutritional gaps in our availability.
