Healthy foods top our wish list!

FOOD for Lane County is working hard to solicit food products that will meet the needs of an increasing number of people who have health problems such as diabetes and heart disease. These foods are highly nutritious, have great shelf life and tend to be more expensive for us to purchase. A monetary donation goes even further. For every $1 we receive, FFLC can distribute 6 pounds of food.
