Food for Lane County is a private, nonprofit food bank established in 1984 that operates in Lane County, Oregon. It works to reduce hunger by soliciting, collecting, growing, rescuing, preparing, and packaging food, distributing it through a network of social service agencies and programs while also engaging in public awareness, education, and community advocacy to support long-term solutions. Located in Eugene, the organization serves a population base of about 382,000 across urban and rural areas and operates across a diverse set of programs aimed at addressing childhood hunger, senior assistance, disability needs, the working poor, and the unemployed. As the second largest food bank in Oregon, FFLC collaborates with the Oregon Food Bank and Feeding America, and maintains a governance structure that includes a volunteer board of directors and a staff size described as substantial for the region. A recent development includes partnerships and community support activities, such as collaborations with local entities and community foundations, reflecting its role within the nonprofit food security ecosystem in the state.
