Oregon Food Bank Data Breach Exposed Donor and Employee Data

The Oregon Food Bank, a key organization for hunger relief across the Pacific Northwest, filed an official data breach report on April 20, 2026. This filing concerned a cybersecurity incident that occurred on October 24, 2025, resulting in unauthorized access to sensitive data.

As a large non-profit entity, the Oregon Food Bank collects and stores various categories of personal information to manage its extensive operations, donor networks, and volunteer programs. The reported breach involved the exposure of several categories of personal information.

Specific data types reportedly exposed include Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Mailing Address, Email Address, Banking and Direct Deposit Information, Donor and Payment History, and Employee Wage and Tax Information.

The compromise of such sensitive data carries significant risks for affected individuals. Exposed information like Social Security Numbers and banking details can be exploited for identity theft, financial fraud, and targeted scams, potentially leading to unauthorized account access or fraudulent applications for credit.

Individuals who receive a notification regarding this breach should take proactive measures to safeguard their information. It is advisable to regularly review financial account statements and credit reports for any suspicious or unauthorized activity. Additionally, placing a fraud alert or security freeze on credit files with the major credit bureaus can help prevent unauthorized access to credit.
