What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Grocery Program
Our monthly Grocery Program is available to our guests two times a month. We serve anybody in need residing in any Central Oregon community.
First-time guests will need to fill out a new guest application and provide basic information that is kept in our confidential database. We do not require proof of income. We operate on the honor system.
For returning guests, each month you visit you will do a digital signature confirming that you fall within the USDA limits for low to moderate-income.
We strive to provide each of our guests with a nutritious assortment of food. We average about 25 pounds per individual in a family. We cannot guarantee what we will have available each day, so we appreciate your understanding as we try to provide you the best of what we have on hand.
Kid's Korner
In September 2017, The Giving Plate opened a food bank just for kids! Even though we have served kids since day one, we now have a space within our facility that is designated just for children ages 18 and under, called "Kid's Korner." Kids can come in any day we are open and are empowered to “shop” for themselves. They get to choose from 16 baskets of food/snack items, and each child leaves with 8-10 pounds of food. We are passionate about childhood hunger, and as an organization, we have a special focus on food insecurity among our youth. In fact, 65% of the individuals we support with food relief, organization wide are under the age of 18.
Backpacks for Bend
Backpacks for Bend has been impacting the lives of children in Bend/La Pine schools since 2009, and in 2018 it became a program of The Giving Plate.
Backpacks for Bend is the only program of it’s kind benefiting underprivileged, and too often overlooked, children in the Bend/La Pine school district. In the 2019/20 school year, The Giving Plate provided weekend food to over 500 K-12 food-insecure youth each weekend in 37 Bend/La Pine schools.
