We need your help
We are thinking of adding a day to our pantry times to catch more of the families who work and cannot make it during the week. Please click on the link below and give us some feedback.
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 everyone 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!
