H.O.P.E. (Helping Other People Eat) Food Pantry
HOPE provides emergency food baskets for people in need in the Oregon City area, including Gladstone and West Linn. Families and individuals needing food may come to HOPE approximately every 30 days and receive a nutritionally balanced 3-day supply of food. Eligibility is based on current USDA Income Guidelines. Proof of identity like a current driver's license or ID card, birth dates for each person in the household, and a rent receipt or utility bill showing current address are required for repeated use. Food will be given to first-time users who do not have this information and to homeless people. 5 Local Host Churches There are five churches in the Oregon City area that take turns hosting HOPE. The pantries are kept full by the food items that are donated by their church or other organizations or food drives, food is also purchased using monetary donations, and some government commodities are distributed.
