What are the Community Food Programs? 

• Community Food Programs mean that all people at all times have access to safe, nutritious, affordable, adequate and culturally appropriate food.
  
  

• All people can get their food from non-emergency sources.
  
  

• Food is produced in ways that honor and preserve the environment and the workers who bring it to the marketplace.

Food Roots, Inc. is a locally based non-profit community food organization serving Tillamook County and the north Oregon coast. Food Roots exists to educate, empower and engage the people and communities of the north Oregon coast to grow a vibrant regional food system that is good for the people, the economy and the land. For more information about Food Roots, Inc. visit www.foodrootsnw.org.

The Regional Food Bank of Tillamook County, a program of the Oregon Food Bank, supports and coordinates hunger-relief efforts. The Regional Food Bank of Tillamook County receives food from both Oregon Food Bank and local donors. For more information, visit www.oregonfoodbank.org/Tillamook.

It is our hope that you'll understand that the Food Banking system (in Tillamook County this includes the Regional Food Bank, a program of Oregon Food Bank, and the many local food pantries and feeding programs) is part of the EMERGENCY FOOD SYSTEM. It is the goal of the Community Food Programs movement that someday we won't need the emergency food system.
