Donate These Foods

FOOD for Lane County is committed to collecting and distributing as many healthy foods as possible. An increasing number of the people we serve have health problems such as diabetes and heart disease, so we work hard to solicit foods that meet their nutritional needs. You can help by donating these canned and packaged foods. No homemade products, please.

We also accept fresh and frozen foods. For more information, contact Deb McGeorge at (541) 343-2822 or .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
