The Oregon Department of Human Services is the lead agency to coordinate state efforts in meeting the problem of hunger that operates through a network of local service-provider agencies. The Department has designated the Oregon Food Bank as the agency responsible for administering the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in Oregon within OAR chapter 461, division 191. The program's objective is to provide eligible households

(see OAR 461-191-0005) will not create any additional barriers between individuals and their need for food than is stated in statute.
