Health Food for All - Food Equity Program
Through funding provided by Trillium Health Plan Oregon, we are investing $1M into food access programming in Lane County in 2024-25. Funding will help to make healthy food more affordable, free food available at food pantries healthier, and bring an increased focus on health and wellness in our community centered around informed access to healthy foods.
