Willowbrook Food Pantry Update 1/7/26
Hi Friends,
The 2025 numbers are in. 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.
Sherwood4KidsSake, a local organization, is continuing their food donations on the third week of the month when snap benefits are likely to be getting low, both at our pantry and St. Francis's pantry. This is a huge undertaking and we are very grateful.
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 4 items. Our community really stepped up during the holidays. Thank you. We really appreciate and rely on your support.
We appreciate the people who continually drop off plastic and paper 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 low on soups, cereals, and tuna. 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 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 Also, some prices of items not advertised may be out of date.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, JUICE, SOUPS, Canned FRUIT and CORN, PB, CRACKERS.
