Willowbrook Food Pantry Update 11/11/25
Hi Friends,
Until they release the SNAP funds, we are very busy. We had 39 families yesterday, 8 of them were new. This is almost double our normal number. Here's hoping they release those SNAP funds soon!!
SPARROW DENTAL'S yearly food drive donated 1321 lbs of food last week. I'm sure many of you contributed as they blanketed the area with bags. So, thank you and a huge THANK YOU to Dr Eric Gerlach for putting in all the work.
I'm having to buy some meat every week from our local stores. Doing that eats up the budget pretty quickly. Hopefully, that will not be a forever thing.
We appreciate the people who continually drop off the plastic bags. It means a lot to us that you take the time to do this. Thank you. We have been informed that we cannot repack eggs. So we no longer need egg cartons.
We are very thankful for the Sherwood Target store. They donate to us every week. They donate over 5000 lbs of food most months, and a lot of our meat comes from them.
The items that I think are of greatest value to us from each store (when there is a clear standout) are highlighted with bold text. Also, some prices of items not advertised may be out of date.
We are lowest on CEREAL, TUNA, canned CHICKEN, VEGETABLE OIL, MASA, JUICE, SOUPS, Canned FRUIT and CORN, PB, CRACKERS.
Fred Meyers Community Rewards program allows you to specify a charity to give funds to.. To register, go to www.fredmeyer.com/communityrewards. If you want to give rewards to us, our number for the program is FJ766 . We would appreciate it if you would sign up to give rewards to us. This program does not diminish your personal rewards.
