Roseburg Dream Center Inc

Through a grant awarded to us in 2024, we established a food trailer program. This program is ongoing and continuing to be developed. We started this program in February of 2024 with the purchase of a new food trailer. The purpose of the program is to provide weekly hot meals to the community of Roseburg through the food trailer. In 2024 we served over 200 meals out of the food trailer to members of our community.

We expanded our food pantry in 2024 to include a walk-in refrigerator and freezer. This increased our cold food storage by 80%, and radically decreased food spoilage as a result. We were also able to purchase 2 new refrigerators to replace ones that were broken and not operating properly, and we purchased additional heavy duty shelving for food storage. By the end of 2024 we started serving an average of 1,500 households each month out of the pantry. With this increase, we also purchased food to supplement the food supply to meet the need. The total number of households served out of the pantry in 2024 was 13,101, and a total of 282,423lbs of food was handed out by a 287 volunteers.
