This 12,000 square-foot building and additional freezer cooler space will anchor ORCCA’s food distribution infrastructure. South Coast Food Share, a program of ORCCA, is the regional food bank for the Oregon Food Bank, and distributes food through pantries and meal sites along the south coast. The new food bank will enable South Coast Food Share to increase its capacity and improve food distribution throughout Coos, Curry, and Western Douglas Counties. It will also allow for placement of food in preparation for a natural disaster or other general emergency. This project is made possible by the partnership and support of Coos County, recipient of federal grant funds from the Community Development Block Grant Program through the Business Oregon Infrastructure Finance Authority. Other funders include the Ford Family Foundation, The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) Infrastructure Grant Program, the Coquille Tribal Community Fund, the Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation, and donations from our neighbors. |
