More than 17 tons of donated food was transported to Ford Field to be donated to Gleaners in September 14, 2010. Gleaners and more than 200 other food banks across the country have designated September as Hunger in Action Month and called upon the community to help.

Also, I learned that organization called Oregon Food Bank distributes food. OFB distributes food to 20 regional food banks, which, in turn, distribute food to 935 local agencies and programs, such as food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters and more. These local programs provide food directly to people who are hungry in the form of boxes of food for people to take home or prepared meals. The OFB Network serves an average of 240,000 hungry people each month.
You can go to its website, and donate food insistently! http://oregonfoodbank.org/Donate/Ways-to-Give
