Oregon Gets (Slightly) Better At Feeding The Hungry

nationalservice.gov

Oregon consistently shows up high on the list of states where people go hungry from time to time. 

And a new food insecurity report shows it remains above the national average.  But there is a glimmer of something positive in the news: some of the numbers show a decline in food insecurity. 

Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon work to curb food insecurity, as does the food program at Access, Inc. in Jackson County.  Matt Newell-Ching from Partners and Philip Yates from Access join us.
