Say hello to our November Change for Good partner - Rogue Food Unites!

Rogue Food Unites (RFU) uses food to heal individuals and communities during times of crisis. RFU was formed in 2020 out of the dual disasters of the Almeda and Obenchain fires and the impacts of COVID-19 on local communities. Within a short time, RFU began contracting with the State of Oregon to supply hot meals, food boxes, and solidarity cards in Deschutes, Douglas, Klamath, Josephine, and Jackson Counties. 

RFU has provided over 2 million meals to displaced and impacted people, including 600,700 hot meals served at recovery sites and delivered to hotels, RV parks and temporary homes and, 38,756 meal kits and provision boxes. They have also provided fresh produce to more than 100,000 individuals. 

Through partnerships with regional restaurants, farms, vendors, and stores, Rogue Food Unites has recirculated nearly $30 million into our local economies since September 2020.

In collaboration with Klamath Tribal Health & Family Services, funds raised in November's Change for Good will support an organic, fresh foods program to meet the growing needs of food insecurity.

This program will be a collaborative project involving Klamath Tribal Health and Family Services, Local Farmers, and Rogue Food Unites. The intention is to lower the barriers to healthy, organic, fresh food through this pilot program.

The growing costs of food impact community members’ ability to thrive elsewhere in their lives. This program is intended to meet the growing needs of food insecurity, and Rogue Food Unites will be able to provide fresh and organic produce at no cost to these individuals. 

You can support Rogue Food Unites each and every time you shop by rounding up at the register!
