SOUTH BENTON COMMUNITY TOGETHER

WE ARE:

South Benton Food Pantry

The heart of our service is the South Benton County Food Pantry. We serve over 100 people each week, providing a full range of healthy foods including fresh local produce. 

In our full service kitchen we offer weekly lunches and in our Kepi Nak Nak Commons we offer many social events like Zumba, AA, And Vina’s Closet. 

We thank our incredible volunteers and our generous sponsors for their support and hard work. And we thank the stores and farmers whose donated food makes the Food Pantry possible. 

Kepi Nak Nak Commons

By naming our kitchen and dining room facility Kepi Nak Nak Commons we celebrate the indigenous people who lived along the Long Tom River that borders the town of Monroe. As we celebrate the bounty of Oregon with the fresh produce offered from the Food Pantry, we are enjoying some of the same local foods that the Kalapuyans ate.
The Long Tom Watershed was the homelands to two major tribes of Kalapuyan Indians, the Chelamela and Chemapho. In the spring and summer they would begin berry picking and root digging of camas, while at the end of the summer they would pick crops available at the end of the season, like apples and hazelnuts.

Heritage Hall
