CFPA’s Lobby Pantries provide pop-up onsite food distribution, addressing food insecurities by offering nutritious food and information on nutrition.
At our weekly and monthly lobby food pantries, we provide culturally specific food boxes, food donations from partners like New Seasons Market, 99 Ranch and the Oregon Food Bank, and farmers market produce (through our Neighborhood Gleaners program).
Lobby Pantries Through Enhanced Resident Services
Our staff collect food, bring and distribute it to residents in the low-income housing buildings we work in. These are closed pantries to building residents only. Information on days and times of these Lobby Pantries can be found in the monthly building newsletter.
We also offer a weekly Senior Lobby Pantry at The Center
Tuesdays from 1:30-2:30pm
No registration required. Items and quantities vary from week to week.
Our Impact During the Pandemic
During the pandemic, we began doing home delivery of food gleaned from local farmers. In addition to our food pantries, gleaning program, and food deliveries, we also keep non-perishable pantries (referred to as Lobby Pantries) so that residents can access food and other non-perishable items.
