Growing a secure, sustainable, and inclusive food system in the Willamette Valley and greater Lane County.

Good Food Grows Here

The most powerful way to support local farms and food producers - and to build a food system that is resilient, inclusive, and rooted in community care is to buy locally grown and raised food.

At Willamette Farm & Food Coalition, we connect our community to the bounty of the Willamette Valley through our annual Fill Your Pantry event, Locally Grown Guide, and Healthy Food for All program, which makes fresh, local food more accessible to all.

Whether you’re a farmer, food maker, or neighbor who loves to eat with the seasons, we believe good food should be accessible to everyone, and that it starts right here, at home.

Mutual Aid Call to Action

Bridge the Gap. Nourish Our Neighbors.

Here at WFFC we know that care starts with food — the kind grown by real hands in real soil. When we share that food with one another, we’re doing more than filling plates. We’re tending to the health, dignity, and resilience of our whole community.

Food insecurity in Lane County and the Willamette Valley is rising faster than ever. With federal and state funding for programs like SNAP under threat, we’re calling on our community to come together — farmer to neighbor, friend to friend — in mutual aid. Let’s make sure fresh, local, nourishing food stays on every table, no matter what happens

What we saw at Fill Your Pantry was unprecedented:

• Hundreds lined up before the event even opened.

• SNAP customers arrived from across the region due to reduced benefits and limited resources elsewhere.

• Demand exceeded every projection and pushed our systems to their limits.

This wasn’t an isolated event — it was a signal.

Food insecurity in our region has reached a critical inflection point. Our neighbors need support now, and they will continue to need it well into 2026 as federal and state aid shrinks.

Your gift bridges the gap between what our neighbors need and what systems can provide.

Funds raised will support:

• Bucka Bucka Bucks – tokens that help families buy local eggs and meat.

• Little Lettuce – tokens for kiddos to pick out their own fruits, veggies, and plant starts.

• Emergency Food Boxes – expand our emergency food response to meet more neighbors in need. 

• SNAP Match – at local markets including Lane County Bounty and OG Corner Store.

• Harvest Boxes – culturally meaningful food boxes for Tribal Elders and food-insecure neighbors.

We need to raise $300,000 by June 2026, and $14,000 by the end of December 2025.

This ensures our community has stable, equitable access to local food throughout the coming year, and emergency harvest boxes.

Together, we can nourish our neighbors and strengthen the farms that nourish us all.
