You will be treated with dignity and kindness here. Want to mention that there is no longer a clothing closet at this location.

Extremely helpful and wonderful people. I cannot afford much food and this was such a blessing to keep me afloat. :) Please make sure to clear up your schedule. It can take a couple hours, but it's so very worth it to be able to eat!! Just make it your only thong for the day and it'll be fine. Thank you to the staff that help make it possible.

I am shocked at the amount of food I was able to get. They are amazing!!!! Fruit, veggies, meat, milk, staples, and more. So thankful!!! πŸ™ Be prepared to wait in line, and maybe bring a book. But totally worth it. Kind and friendly service, and a cart full of food for my family!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Yes you can, and unlike a lot of other programs they don't have a set service area so anyone from anywhere can get food.

Can I donate garden produce to be distributed by the food pantry?

Harrison Schadel | Sep 21, 2021
David Ray Martin | Sep 21, 2021

I asked about bringing my grapes in to donate and the woman directing traffic and doing my paperwork said β€œYes! Absolutely!” I have yet to deliver them but my understanding is yes, you may donate garden produce to them. (My grapes are organic, stubborn and refuse vaccination.)

Since they now have us wait outside,is it ok if I wait with my dog as long as she is friendly?

Lexie Lee | Aug 17, 2020

Good Day and thank you for your question. Although our clients are waiting outside during renovations, we are continuing to operate as we would inside the building. Oregon law prohibits all animals except for service animals in grocery stores, restaurants, and other food establishments. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines a service animal as a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability. Dogs or therapy animals whose function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals according to the ADA, even with a doctor’s note. Even though friendly, we cannot permit pets onsite. We are, however, looking at possible solutions for people who don't have anywhere to safely leave their pets nor anyone who can look after their pets while they access services at NEFP. There have been some great suggestions that need some additional work to follow up on. If interested, we'd love your feedback.

Do they have diapers and baby supplies or just food and clothes?

Bruce Cunningham | Aug 18, 2018
Colin Haney | Aug 18, 2018

I don't remember seeing any baby supplies. Howeve they usually will give away small amounts of pet food and feminine hygiene products in the food section, they might occasionally have baby stuff in that section.
