Our Response and Local Information

Many of you may wonder if we will remain open. The current answer is, yes. In order to keep everyone safe, we will be using protection, sanitizing, social distancing practices and limiting volunteers when providing food boxes to families. We ask you to remain in your cars and someone will sign in for you. If you are walking, please space yourselves at least 6 feet from the next patron. For the time being, we will no longer have a shopping style pantry. We ask you to please be patient as we figure out how to best get food to you. Our hours are posted below. Our supplies on some things are extremely limited, while other things will be in quantity. Please know we are doing the best we can.

About Us

We are in the business of feeding people

South Benton Food Pantry is located in the Willamette Valley, in the small town of Monroe. Our food comes from local sources as well as Linn Benton Food Share and from our partners "The Sharing Gardens." We serve anyone who  lives, works or plays in the Monroe School District.

We would like to thank Chris Burns of the Sharing Gardens for building and painting this wonderful sign for our pantry!

We aim to please

Do you have a special dietary need?  Do you know someone who needs food? Let us know. Do you need other things, such as referrals to other agencies? Let us know and we can help. 

We provide free food!

Our goal is to feed those in need and provide the best nutrition available to us. We often have other non food items available, such as diapers, wipes, and soap products. We know on a limited budget, it is difficult to get everything! Please let us know how we can help!
