FOOD HERO AT SOUTH BENTON FOOD PANTRY

Once a month, South Benton Food Pantry partners with OSU extension services. They bring us recipes, conduct tastings, and offer bilingual services.

Food Hero’s mission is to help low-income Oregonians improve their health by increasing their consumption of fruits and vegetables.
