Free Food Market!
Free Food Markets are community events that center fresh produce provided by the Oregon Food Bank. We get large orders of produce from OFB and add in backstock of non-perishable items to distribute to community members. Free Food Market is a one-off event that is scheduled around our campus delivery schedule from the OFB. This event is open to all and there are no limits. No ID is needed to attend, we only ask how many are in their household. We ask that participants bring their own bag or box to transport the food.
