Raptor Creek Farm is the JoCo Food Bank's dedicated farm, founded in 2011 to help meet local fresh produce needs and nutritional learning opportunities. The Farm is maintained almost entirely by volunteers and since its founding has provided hundred of thousands of pounds of produce that has been distributed to individuals and families throughout Josephine County.
Three times a week, we accept volunteers to help plant, maintain, and harvest crops in our greenhouses and rows, and then clean, sort, and process for distribution to local pantries and agencies.

Mission Statement
To alleviate poverty and the causes of poverty in Josephine County, the Josephine County Food Bank is dedicated to the collection and distribution of emergency food to a network of local member agencies serving low-income individuals and families throughout Josephine County
Description
The Josephine County Food Bank is a regional food bank serving all of Josephine County through our network of pantries, community kitchens, and supplemental agencies.
With the help of our dedicated volunteers, we distribute food to low and no income individuals and families in communities all over Josephine County. We have changed the way we build food boxes by growing our own local grocery store produce in our garden at Raptor Creek Farm along with other established programs to end hunger in our community. Our local food bank has provided and distributed millions of pounds of food each year.
Because no one should be hungry.
