EXPANDING OUR INITIATIVE: ROOT CAUSES OF HUNGER

Clark County Food Bank has been on a mission to alleviate hunger and its root causes in Southwest Washington for many years. Anyone in our community experiencing hunger can access emergency food at our Community Kitchens in Walnut Grove and Fruit Valley, as well as at a wide network of partner agency sites. But addressing the root causes of hunger goes beyond distributing food. It requires digging into the causes behind food insecurity and providing support and connection to those who need it. Through these efforts, we hope to move closer to our vision to inspire and grow a network of community health and support healthy lifestyles, professional growth, and opportunities to serve the community.

To support these efforts, we are expanding our initiative to develop and enhance partnerships with community organizations who address one or more of the root causes of hunger, like nutrition education, financial empowerment training, workforce development, resource navigation and other resources and skill development programs. Keep an eye out in the coming months for more information about these programs. Want to learn more? Please reach out to us at info@clarkcountyfoodbank.org
