OREGON FOOD BANK PARTNERSHIP

Natural Grocers has partnered with the Oregon Food Bank (OFB) throughout the state for almost a decade, with its "Bring Your Own Bag" program. This community outreach will extend to the new Beaverton location. Each time a customer brings their own shopping bag, Natural Grocers will donate five cents per shopping trip to OFB, which provides food and necessities to people in need across the state.

"Natural Grocers has been a longtime partner of Oregon Food Bank and we are thrilled to be a part of the Beaverton opening," said Marissa Gray, an OFB representative. "Natural Grocers believes in our mission: that no one should be hungry. Their commitment over the years, and this donation today, continues to fuel our work; from distributing food across the state donated directly by their stores through food waste rescue programs, to financial support benefitting the breadth of OFB programs and root cause work. Together, we are feeding people now, and looking ahead at addressing factors that we know perpetuate hunger."

Natural Grocers will make a special $2,500 donation to OFB at the opening ceremonies to honor this relationship and help nourish surrounding communities.
