| Our Mission
Teens Fighting Hunger is a non-profit organization as defined by 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service. Founded in 2007 in Lake Oswego, Oregon, our mission is threefold: 1. to provide relief - throughout the year - to the 12.6 million hungry children in the United States; 2. to promote youth involvement and empower teenagers to use their skills, talents, creativity and energy in such ways that they develop both the pleasure and habit of giving back and making a positive difference in the lives of others; and 3. to raise awareness about the hunger problem in America in order to create a continuous stream of hunger relief. |
Teens Raise $3,828 To Help Stock Local Food Pantry |

The third annual Empty Bowls fundraiser, organized by the Lake Oswego High School Hunger Fighter Club and ceramics classes, was held in early February in the school cafeteria. Empty Bowls is a nationally recognized charitable project that raises money for local food banks. All Mr. Steve Schiefelbein’s ceramics classes created pottery bowls that were used to serve a simple meal of soup, bread and cookies prepared by volunteers.
Generous participants enjoyed the meal and kept their bowl as a reminder of the problem of domestic hunger. All funds raised at the event ($1,914) were matched dollar-for-dollar by Teens Fighting Hunger. This event's benificiary was the Tualatin School House Pantry (TSHP). TSHP will use the proceeds to buy milk and other perishables that they desperately need this time of year to help more than 400 local families that depend upon their services. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success. Visit our Gallery page for more event photos.
