Food Assistance
- Use Oregon Food Banks Food Finder to find food available near you.
- Visit our local West Linn Food Pantry on Thursdays from 3:00 to 6:00pm. They will deliver food to you curbside. Please stay in your vehicle in front of the pantry and they will bring the food to you. You do not need to bring bags or boxes for your food. Donations may be dropped off curbside between 1:00 and 6:00pm on Thursdays
- Clackamas County Meals on Wheels delivers regularly to West Linn residents.
- Willamette Christian Church has cancelled their regular hours for the "The Market" food assistance program on Sundays due to COVID-19. However, they would still love to support you and your family during this time with groceries. Please call the church office at (503) 656-2328 or email themarket@willamette.cc so they can arrange a pickup time for you.
- Find out your eligibility and apply for the State's Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP). SNAP can now be used for deliveries from Amazon and Walmart.
- Oregon's WIC Program
- The Department of Human Services (DHS) and the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) announced that children eligible for free or reduced-price meals will get cash benefits for the meals they would have received at school. This policy change will benefit more than 351,000 students receiving free or reduced-price school meals in Oregon. This includes nearly 147,000 students already receiving Nutrition Assistance. Households will receive $5.70 per child for each normal school day for the months of March, April, May and June. This is the equivalent of one lunch and one breakfast.
Families who have experienced significant income loss may now be eligible for free or reduced-price school meals. There is still time to apply. Apply online or contact your local school. DHS will continue to work with federal partners to provide help to Oregonians in need. To apply for Nutrition Assistance, visit needfood.oregon.gov or call 2-1-1. Details here.
