Food insecurity - Portland, Oregon

MARCH 15-21, 2026

In 2024, the Oregon Food Bank Network saw a record number of visits to food assistance sites, with 91 million meals’ worth of free food provided in total. The rising cost of living, climate change, and systemic inequities contribute to the hunger crisis across the country, with many minoritized communities being disproportionately affected. UB staff and students on this Alternative Break will learn more about the causes of food insecurity, and how local advocacy, community organizing, and hands-on efforts are fighting for food justice in the Pacific Northwest every day.
