Each year since 1989, the Oregon Hunger Task Force has monitored and examined food insecurity in Oregon

and presented policy recommendations to the legislature. 

For the 2025 session, the Task Force looked at the many intersecting issues that influence food insecurity. They took into account the most vulnerable populations at risk, the Governor’s priorities, and limited state dollars, and chose to separate their recommendations into three categories:

Policy that will have an immediate and lasting impact with return on investment,

Policies that the state should continue to invest in, and

Policies that specifically impact food access to Oregon’s Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) Communities.
