The additional funds come at a critical time as COVID-19 cases continue to spike among some immigrant communities and efforts to extend federal assistance to undocumented immigrants stall in Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis pandemic is unlike any economic challenge we\u2019ve faced, and it requires public and private sectors to step up and support our community in unprecedented ways,\u201d said&nbsp;<strong>Kregg Arntson, executive director, PGE Foundation<\/strong>. \u201cFor many immigrants in Oregon, options for financial assistance are scarce. We care deeply about the safety and stability of all our neighbors and encourage fellow businesses across the region to join us in contributing to the Oregon Worker Relief Fund.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Oregon Worker Relief Fund is supported by a broad coalition of individual donors, businesses, philanthropic organizations, and state and local funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe place immense value on growing a sustainable and equitable food system,\u201d said&nbsp;<strong>Chenoa Philabaum of New Seasons Market<\/strong>. \u201cIn learning about the Oregon Worker Relief Fund, we recognize that their work aligns with our commitment to using business as a force for good. We want to live in a region where food justice is achieved through anti-racism, which includes supporting those with little to no federal or state resources available to them, many of whom are critical to our regional food economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twenty community-based organizations are working quickly to distribute payments directly to Oregonians in need, fielding hundreds of new applications each day. As of today, the fund has delivered more than $20 million in disaster relief throughout Oregon\u2019s immigrant communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To meet the tremendous and growing need for financial assistance, the Oregon Worker Relief Fund is seeking additional donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs the pandemic exacerbates financial hardship for immigrant Oregonians, we are seeing a large and growing coalition of public agencies, foundations, businesses and individuals step up to help,\u201d said&nbsp;<strong>Ramon Valdez, OWRF coalition spokesperson<\/strong>. \u201cTwo of our region\u2019s most community-minded companies \u2013 PGE and New Seasons Market \u2013 are demonstrating their commitment to our community with support for the Oregon Worker Relief Fund. The magnitude of need for financial relief far outweighs available funding, even with these generous contributions. Every dollar we raise for the Oregon Worker Relief Fund strengthens our state\u2019s economic ability to rebound and recover.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Most relief recipients work in essential industries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One in eight workers in Oregon is an immigrant, making up an essential share of the state\u2019s labor force across industries. Oregonians receiving relief through the OWRF are among the state\u2019s essential workers, with the majority of relief recipients working in food service and agriculture, while significant portions work in the janitorial industry, construction and childcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below, a full breakdown of relief recipients by employment industry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Industry<\/strong><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Food Service<\/td><td>37%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Agriculture<\/td><td>21%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Janitorial &amp; Housekeeping<\/td><td>20%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Construction<\/td><td>8%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Child Care<\/td><td>3%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Other<\/td><td>11%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/innovationlawlab.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">latest Oregon Worker Relief Fund data report<\/a>&nbsp;includes information about relief payments by geography, industry, age, as well as other metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like other Oregonians, these immigrant workers pay income taxes, payroll taxes and property taxes. Undocumented Oregonians pay about $81 million annually in state and local taxes. Immigrant-led households paid more than $2.5 billion in federal and state taxes in 2014 alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About OWRF<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The OWRF coalition has developed an innovative, rapid response infrastructure to reach community members across the entire state, adhere to all public health recommendations, and deliver aid rapidly. Community-based organizations cover different regions and impacted communities with trained personnel acting as \u201cnavigators\u201d to interview and document the need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Oregon Worker Relief Fund is supported by state and local funding, businesses and nearly $1.5M from philanthropic organizations including Oregon Food Bank, Ford Family Foundation, Meyer Memorial Trust, Oregon Community Foundation, Collins, MRG, Northwest Health Foundation and thousands of individual donors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Individuals and companies can contribute to the Oregon Worker Relief Fund at\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/testbed01.plusequalsmedia.com\/es\/donate\/\" target=\"_blank\">workerrelief.org\/donate<\/a>\u00a0or by contacting\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:media@testbed01.plusequalsmedia.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">media@testbed01.plusequalsmedia.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><small><strong>About the PGE Foundation<\/strong><br>The PGE Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Portland General Electric.
