El Banco de Alimentos ha sido un accesorio en el Condado de Josephine desde 1990. Originalmente éramos parte de la Agencia de Acción Comunitaria del Condado de Josephine y nos ejecutamos como un programa del condado. Durante estos años, servimos a personas y familias hambrientas en todo el condado y construimos algunas de nuestras relaciones más duraderas.
En 2005, el Condado suspendió los fondos para el Banco de Alimentos y la Red de Acción Comunitaria Unida intervino y el Banco de Alimentos comenzó a crecer. En 2010, una colaboración comunitaria entre la Ciudad de GP, UCAN, Clubes Rotarios de GP y donantes locales dio como resultado la construcción de un nuevo almacén de alimentos de 10.000 pies cuadrados y el establecimiento de Raptor Creek Farm, ubicado en la propiedad para cultivar alimentos para las familias locales.
Hoy en día, el Banco de Alimentos del Condado de Josephine es una organización independiente e independiente sin fines de lucro. Continuamos sirviendo a nuestra comunidad de nuestro centro de distribución de alimentos en Raptor Creek Farm ubicado en 3658 Upper River Road en Grants Pass.
Southern Oregon Early Learning Services Hub Fire Relief Fund
The Southern Oregon Early Learning Services Hub has created a $250,000 Fire Relief Fund to provide funding to organizations serving families who have been impacted by the recent fires in Jackson and Josephine Counties. Qualifying organizations must serve children under age six and/or their families and deliver services in the two-county region.
While the fund does not have a request limit per application, requests should be in line with the number of families to be served with the funding. Prioritization will be given to organizations serving the priority populations identified for our region: families whose home language is Spanish; families living in rural communities; families experiencing financial hardship; families with a child experiencing a disability; foster families; teen parents; and families in recovery from substance use.
The funding can be used to 1) replace an organization's critical materials and supplies lost by the fires, 2) purchase materials and supplies needed due to the impact of the fires, and/or 3) provide other supports to families who are impacted by the fires. More details below.
