Need a boost? It’s On Us.
A group of passionate volunteers interested in food security, boosting the local economy, nourishment, and trust, have created a program where community-sourced funds provide meals for folks who need a boost, business to restaurants, and security to our friends and neighbors. This effort is in direct response to COVID-19’s devastating effects on local business, employees, and community members, but, with your help, we think this fund has staying power.
- From April 2020 to December 2020, IOU Corvallis raised enough funds to pay for and distribute 20,000 meals from locally owned restaurants!
- From December 2020 to July 2021, IOU Corvallis continued to raise funds and distribute meals on a “tab” program. During this time, IOU Corvallis raised over $80,000.00 and distributed over 8,100 meals by partnering with 30 local restaurants.
- Starting August 2021, IOU Corvallis is partnering with Kuto (smartphone app) to distribute weekly IOU meal electronic gift cards for use at local restaurants.
