Willowbrook Food Pantry Update 11/4/26

Hi Friends,

The Pirates of Pinehurst raised 452 lbs. of food this year!! That is tremendous.  Perlo Construction had a cereal drive and donated 274 boxes of cereal.  I will not have to buy cereal for months!!  Thank you all so much.

Walmart has started its holiday pricing for items needed for the big meal.  There are big savings on ingredients for Thanksgiving. See below.

We spent $2160 in October.   We are very fortunate that our generous donors have given us a nice cushion.  Hopefully we will not need to spend that much this month.

We helped 207 families in October, 925 people.  In 2025, we served 2390 families (plus 80 Thanksgiving boxes) with a total of 11,048 people according to our check-in software.  This is 500 more people than in 2024 and our biggest year ever. 

Half of our offerings from the Oregon Food Bank is a USDA shopping list.  It is free food to us.  In the past, it typically contained about 30 items.  Last week it contained 7 items that were not beans and most were limited to 1 case.  We really appreciate and rely on your support.

We are very thankful for the Sherwood Target store.  They donate to us every week.  They donate over 3000 lbs of food most months, and a lot of our meat comes from them.

There is a $20 off $100.00 Safeway digital coupon this week.  Buying a couple items to donate is always appreciated.

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  Also, some prices of items not advertised may be out of date.  If you can donate a couple, that would really help us.  In some stores, you have to buy 4 or 5 items to get the good price, which is sometimes cheaper than buying 2.  We would appreciate the extras.

We are lowest on  CEREALS,  Canned FRUIT, canned Pinto Beans and Black Beans, Soup, Tuna/Meat, Juice, Crackers.
