Fill the Pantry Food Drive

February is Fill the Pantry Month at the library! Here's your chance to start 2026 right and help our hungry friends and neighbors. For every (3) cans/packages of food brought in, you will receive a raffle ticket to enter to win one of two fabulous gift baskets!

You can place your raffle tickets in a drawing for either a generous book-themed basket or a international snacks-themed basket provided by the West Linn Library Foundation. There is no limit to the amount of raffle tickets a person can receive for their donations! One winner per basket. Patrons are welcome to put tickets in for both baskets, but you can only win one! 

Donors are asked to contribute non-perishable nutritional foods. Dented/damaged cans, previously-opened packages, and ramen noodles (ex. Top Ramen & Instant Lunch cups) cannot be accepted. All food will go to the West Linn Food Pantry. Donations always accepted, but will only qualify for a raffle ticket from February 1-28.

Examples of nutritious foods that you can donate include:

  • Canned meats (tuna, chicken, salmon, etc.)
  • Canned or dried beans
  • Canned fruits and vegetables
  • Brown or white rice
  • Whole grain cereal
  • Whole-wheat pasta
  • Soups, chilies, and stews
  • Peanut butter
  • Baby formula
