Rogue Food Unites
Rogue Food Unites (RFU) uses food to heal individuals and communities during times of crisis.
RFU coordinates with locally-invested food businesses to provide fresh, nutritious, and shelf-stable ingredients, assembled and delivered to our communities.
While meeting the fundamental human right for food, RFU strengthens local economies: fostering collaboration, preserving jobs for residents, building resilience, and ensuring food security and sovereignty in Oregon.
RFU was formed in 2020 out of the dual disasters of the Almeda and Obenchain fires and the impacts of COVID-19 on local communities.
RFU has provided more than 2,000,000 meals to displaced and impacted people, including 600,700 hot meals served at recovery sites and delivered to hotels, RV parks and temporary homes and, 38,756 meal kits and provision boxes. We also have provided fresh produce to more than 200,000 individuals through our Neighbors Unite Farmers Markets. One is held each Wednesday in Eagle Point from 3PM to 5 PM at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 11175 OR-62.
Through our partnerships with regional restaurants, farms, vendors, and stores, we have recirculated nearly $30 million into our local economies since September 2020.
