Farmers, Ranchers, and You - Working Together to Feed Those in Need
In 2004, Fred Ziari attended a meeting to address the state’s hunger problem. A 20-year veteran of agri-business engineering, he was surprised to see Oregon listed as the #1 hungriest state in America, with 25% of the population eating less than one meal a day.
Inspired by the ongoing hunger crisis that continues to plague many communities throughout Oregon, Farmers Ending Hunger (FEH) was created with the intention of utilizing the productive resources of Oregon’s farmers to fight hunger.
We accomplish this by soliciting donations of crops directly from farmers, services from food processors and contributions to our Adopt-An-Acre program from concerned citizens. Funds received from the program cover additional costs, such as product sorting, processing, storage and trucking.
