Ending hunger
begins with you.
We IMPROVE THE NUTRITIONAL QUALITY OF the FOOD DISTRIBUTED BY OUR PARTNER AGENCIES.
The Hunger Prevention Coalition of Central Oregon is a nonprofit agency formed in 2000. We raise and distribute funds for nutritious food (like fresh fruits, vegetables and proteins such as meat, milk and eggs) to outlets and distribution points throughout Central Oregon.
We also work to increase awareness by educating the general public about the importance of good nutrition especially in populations where poverty is the rule rather than the exception.
