UCAN released a press release this week addressing the issue.

As food insecurity reaches critical levels, the United Community Action Network (UCAN) is calling on residents, businesses, and community partners across Douglas County to take action. With rising demand and uncertainty surrounding federal SNAP (food stamp) benefits, UCAN’s regional Food Bank network is working to ensure no one in our community goes hungry.

Earlier this year, reductions in federal Food Bank funding decreased the amount of food that could be purchased for local pantries and community kitchens. Now, with the potential disruption of SNAP benefits, many of our most vulnerable neighbors, local children, seniors, and families, may turn to UCAN’s Emergency Food Network for help.

Financial contributions, whether one-time or recurring, make the biggest difference. UCAN can purchase food at subsidized rates through the USDA and Feeding America. Every $10 donated helps UCAN provide up to 30 meals across Douglas County.

Donate online here and select “Food Bank” from the “Apply My Donation To” dropdown list, or a check may be made payable to “UCAN Food Bank” and mailed or delivered to the UCAN Administrative Office at 251 NE Garden Valley Blvd. Suite 205 Roseburg, OR 97470.
