Food Bank Impacted By Loss Of Federal Program

The Columbia Gorge Food Bank will be impacted by the cancellation of part of the federal emergency food assistance program.  Columbia Gorge Food Bank Executive Director Breen Goodwin says it was a subset of the program called the Commodity Credit Corporation.  The cut represents 250-thousand pounds of food in a year, and Goodwin says they are reaching out to donation partners to try to make up for at least some of it.  Columbia Gorge Food Bank supplies food pantries throughout Oregon’s Mid-Columbia counties.  Goodwin says pantries in the region were averaging 2400 household visits per month last year, and she expects those numbers to grow this year.
