Oregon Food Bank Needs More Funds

Statewide unemployment, rising operational costs and more needy people brought representatives of the Oregon Food Bank to face legislators and ask for more funding.  Jon Stubenvoll, the Oregon Food Bank's Director of Advocacy says they'd like to see their allotment for the General Fund Food Program rise from nearly $2 million, to $2.2 million.  He says that would allow them to maintain their current operations and buy an additional million pounds of food to be distributed throughout the network.
