The time has come for The Community Cupboard to find a new home. Unfortunately, the building across from Res Apple was sold and the new owner says that is insurance company will not allow him to keep it there. Are there any local churches or area nonprofits that would like it?

We have some good news-the community cupboard has received a little TLC and is back in operations across the parking lot from Red Apple Marketplace next to Tres Corona Bakery. Please use the cupboard for sharing non-perishable food , not a dumping ground for unwanted items (this will help us keep the cupboard open)! Thank you Eddie Melendez!

The community cupboard could use a little TLC and donations! It has now been relocated across the parking lot to help keep it covered.

‼️important notice‼️ Our community cupboard has been relocated across the parking lot, so it can be under the awning in the winter months. 🍎

This year, the National Association of Letter Carriers are supporting people experiencing hunger by raising funds. On Saturday, May 13th letter carriers in Ontario (and possibly other surrounding communities) will also be collecting food.

The shift from collecting food to collecting funds represents a cultural and conscious transformation towards equitable food access and power shifting to communities experiencing hunger. Donations allow us to center our neighbors in making their own food choices — choices that are best for their lives, including food that is culturally relevant, honors dietary needs and is accessible to individuals no matter their housing situation.

Every $10 donated creates 30 meals, while every 10 pounds of food donated creates only 8 meals.

Please join the Oregon Food Bank Network and your local letter carriers this spring to “stamp out” hunger by making a donation today. Every dollar makes a difference.

Help us Stamp Out Hunger!
