Partner Agency Zone

Food for Lane County’s work is rooted in collaboration. While we operate several programs directly, the majority of the food we distribute reaches our community through a trusted network of nonprofit and faith-based partner agencies.

As Lane County’s food distribution hub, we help reduce the burden on individual organizations, saving the cost of storage, staffing and transportation. This shared system ensures food and resources are used efficiently and fairly. Unlike many food banks, we do not charge agencies to receive food. This choice reflects our commitment to supporting smaller organizations so they can focus on what they do best: serving our neighbors.

At this time, we are not accepting new partner agency applications. For information about our waitlist, please contact us.
