If You Need Food The South Corvallis Food Bank will remain open during its normal hours: Monday 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Wednesday 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Thursday 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Saturday 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon Stone Soup is currently distributing hot meals from the food bank during the following hours: Tuesday 5:15pm - 6:15pm Thursday 5:15pm - 6:15pm Saturday 10:00am - 11:00am We have changed our procedures for the duration of this public health crisis. You will be asked to wait outside the food bank. For the protection of our volunteers, please wear a mask while at the food bank. Masks are available free of charge at the checkin table if you don't have one. We have currently waived the limit of one full shop per month. You are welcome to come once a week for a full selection of food. We regret we will not be offering shopping selection for shelf-stable items. We will return to shopping selection as soon as it is safe, probably when Benton County reaches and remains at a low risk of COVID transmission. For now you will receive a pre-packed box of these items. We will accommodate special dietary needs as much as we can. You will be able to indicate your preferences for refrigerated and frozen items as well as your bread and produce. A volunteer will bring your food outside to you.
When possible, we ask that you leave most household members at home and only one person come to the food bank to pick up your food. If you are a member of a vulnerable population, self-isolating, or in quarantine, we can offer delivery via Dial-a-bus. Call (541) 753-4263 or email delivery@southcorvallisfoodbank.org. The South Corvallis Food Bank is an equal opportunity provider. Non-Profit 501 (c)3 | Donations needed We currently have a decent selection of food, but we could use: condiments (mustard, mayo, salad dressing, ketchup, salsa, etc.) instant side dishes (rice-a-roni, tuna helper, stuffing, etc.) can openers personal care items: toilet paper feminine hygiene products baby wipes toothpaste/toothbrushes soap shampoo laundry detergent dish soap diapers (sizes newborn, 5 and 6 and pull-ups) paper towels When donating canned items, pop-tops are always preferable for those without can openers. We cannot accept bulk or home-canned items. Plastic, paper with handles or clean reusable grocery bags are very useful for those who come on foot, bike, or by bus. Donations may be dropped off at the food bank during our open hours. Please do not leave donations outside our door when we are not there. Items become damaged by weather or animals. Volunteers welcome We always welcome new volunteers. Volunteers are needed to pack boxes: Mondays 10am-noon Thursdays 2pm-4pm. Volunteers are also needed to fill orders and take groceries outside to clients: Monday 12:15 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. Wednesday 12:15 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. Thursday 4:15 p.m. - 7:15 p.m. Saturday 9:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. Youth ages 12 and up are welcome with their guardian's permission. We do a brief training as required at the beginning of each shift. Since there is training involved, we are seeking volunteers who would intend to volunteer multiple times over the next few months. We do understand everyone's life is unpredictable at this point, so we don't expect a firm commitment, just a general intention to volunteer more than once.
