About the Pantry
The Pantry is Open
Eastside Foursquare Church Room 176
503-226-4900 Ext. 672 or 503-542-0672
Our new pantry is here to serve the public and the church.
Donations to fill the pantry - Below is a list of the needs we have. This is the initial asking and is far from exhaustive. We do have refrigeration and freezing capability. In thinking about the needs, seeing the pantry itself is key. You need to see how much room we have and all the shelving that has been implemented so that you can ask yourself, what you can do to help. This is YOUR pantry. We invite your suggestions. What would you like to see on the shelves? Come talk to us! Let's do this together.
Christmas Drives - We will need donations of turkeys and hams and all the trimmings for Christmas dinners. We will be taking donations and gifts for families as well. Also, if you know of families who are in need please talk to us. This is an opportunity for you to talk with your neighbors - find out if they have been hit by the economy or joblessness and let them know how you can help them. Let Jesus shine through you in this!
This is a 24/7 operation to meet the needs of the people WHENEVER they need help with food.
