Rebuilding Food Security After a Wildfire
[]
YES! Magazine - Climate
A coalition in Oregon is fighting to expand access to food assistance—regardless of immigration status.
That’s why Rogue Food Unites redistributes local produce to residents at no cost—and no questions asked about need, income, or immigration status.
A significant portion of Rogue Food Unites’ clients are undocumented families, and many are farmworkers who work seasonal jobs.
“The intention is to welcome all families,” says Jesus Rios, the client liaison manager at Rogue Food Unites.
“The basic premise is that if you’re human, you deserve food,” says Susannah Morgan, the president of the Oregon Food Bank, which is one of the largest organizations involved in the coalition.
