Our Mission
To eliminate hunger and its root causes throughout Columbia County -- Because NO ONE should be hungry
Columbia Pacific Food Bank is a community based non profit organization dedicated to fighting hunger and its underlying causes. We work to acquire and distribute thousands of pounds of food and household items each year. The products we receive move through our warehouse to emergency food pantries and local hunger-relief agencies throughout Columbia County. These member agencies offer assistance to hungry families and individuals who are in need throughout the communities in Columbia County.
What types of donations can CPFB accept?
We can accept cash, checks or credit card payments. For every dollar donated, CPFB is able to purchase 5 pounds of food.
We can pick up, handle, inspect, store and distribute most food products.
These include: fresh, dry, canned, discontinued, out of specification, frozen, dehydrated, surplus, code dated and clean damaged foods.
We can also accept many other products, including household goods, pet food, health & beauty aids, paper products and diapers.
At CPFB we contract with all of our member agencies, mandating that donated products will not be sold, traded or bartered. Recipients are never charged for food. Products donated to CPFB are tracked to ensure they do not re-enter the market.
