Combating hunger with internet marketing in Portland

Is there a reason why food resources are so difficult to distribute equitably during this economic downturn? How can the same the same tools used for internet marketing in Portland and Seattle be used to help alleviate some of the problems facing our part of the world? Non-profits are not the only ones who should address the shameful condition of hunger that exists in the Pacific Northwest. Non-profits use internet marketing tools in Portland and Seattle to get the message across. Here’s a sample from the Neighborhood Notes site:

With Portland’s ubiquitous farmers markets, a committed locavore “foodie” movement, and the great luck of being located in the Willamette Valley—home to some of the most fertile soil on the planet—how could the Rose City possibly face any food security issues? But the facts don’t lie. According to the Multnomah Food Action Plan, adopted by the County Board of Commissioners in January 2011, there are 36,000 people in the county who access emergency food boxes each month. Over half of county adults are overweight or obese. Nearly one-third of county children rely on food assistance programs.

Portland faces the same food security issues as the rest of the country, even the rest of the world. However, most people aren’t aware that it doesn’t really cost all that much to end world hunger, depending on your perspective.

What we are highlighting here is – even in the non-profit sector – sites that support charities, fundraisers and etcetera still gain overwhelming exposure by implementing internet marketing in Portland.
