FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Date: March 7, 2025

WE’VE LOST OUR COMMERCIAL KITCHEN LEASE

From the program’s inception in 2001, RVCOG Food & Friends has leased the commercial kitchen in the Olsrud Family Nutrition Center from ACCESS. Unfortunately, we received a letter on Monday, March 3rd indicating that our lease agreement is terminating effective August 31, 2025. That gives us less than six months to find a new commercial kitchen for the production of approximately 1,400 meals we serve and deliver to older adults in Jackson and Josephine Counties each day.

Update: December 2025 – Our ACCESS lease has been extended through at least June 30, 2026. RVCOG is working with the City of Central Point on a new location for the Food & Friends kitchen. More to come as plans progress.

Thank you for your support!
