Willowbrook Food Pantry Update 7/1/26
The fourth of July is upon us already. This is a momentous one. Take a minute to think about our country, what it has been and what it could be. Stay safe this weekend.
I spent $2054 in June. mostly on meat and milk but adding 60lbs of rice each week. We are very fortunate that our generous donors have given us a nice cushion.
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 6 items that were not beans and most were limited to 1 case. 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 are very thankful for the Sherwood Target store. They donate to us every week. They donate over 4000 lbs of food most months, and a lot of our meat comes from them.
There is a $20 off $100 Safeway digital coupon for this entire week. Buying a couple items to donate is always appreciated. The Grocery Outlet also has its Give 5, Get 5 promotion the entire month of July.
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 Also, some prices of items not advertised may be out of date.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 SPAGHETTI SAUCE, CEREALS, canned MEAT, JUICE, Canned FRUIT, CORN, and CRACKERS.
