Food is a human right

Everyone deserves access to food

No one should have to choose between paying their bills or buying groceries. Food for All Oregonians is a community-led coalition working to ensure all of us, including our neighbors who are immigrants, have the food we need to thrive.

Oregon is stronger when we care for one another

When youth and elders can access nourishing food that feels like home, our communities thrive. Kids succeed in school, families stay healthy, and local economies grow when all Oregonians can afford groceries.

We need Food for All Oregonians

Thousands of immigrant Oregonians are excluded from the food assistance they need, despite paying millions in taxes. By passing Food for All Oregonians in 2025, we can:

  • Make food assistance available to Oregon's youth and elders who are currently excluded due to immigration status

  • Ensure everyone is aware of this vital support through community navigation and outreach, improved language access and more

Food that feels like home nourishes more than the body

This is why it’s so important that food pantries provide food that feels like home. This is also called culturally-relevant food — simply, food that is important to our cultures and feels like home. These foods might be tied to cultural and regional food preferences or dietary needs — like basmati rice, coconut milk, plantains, daikon, masa or soy sauce.
