Tualatin Food Pantry

Mission

To alleviate food insecurity in our community in a welcoming way that brings dignity and choice to our neighbors.

Bottom Line

This year, Tualatin Food Pantry is on track to serve 53,000 of our neighbors—more people than ever before. But behind that number are 53,000 individual stories.

For some, it’s the loss of a job. For others, the rising cost of housing leaves little money for groceries. An unexpected medical expense can quickly turn a carefully balanced budget upside down. Many of the people who walk through our doors never imagined they would need a food pantry, but life circumstances have brought them here.

The need is greater than our capacity, and we cannot meet it alone.

Our volunteers are the backbone of our work, generously giving nearly 10,000 hours each year to sort food, stock shelves, pack boxes, and welcome our neighbors with kindness and dignity. Their time and compassion, together with the generosity of our donors, make it possible for us to keep showing up for our community.

Your support makes a direct difference. It helps keep our shelves stocked with healthy, nourishing food and ensures that when a neighbor needs help, we can be there. Together, we can make sure no family, senior, or child has to face a difficult time without enough food on the table.

Your gift today will help Tualatin Food Pantry meet this growing need—and remind our neighbors that they are not alone.

Quote

“Every day at Tualatin Food Pantry, I’m reminded that what we provide is about so much more than food. Recently, I saw a woman standing quietly in front of a display of flowers donated by Trader Joe’s. She told me her daughter had passed away in an accident a year earlier and asked if she could take flowers to her daughter’s grave. Together, we chose roses and baby’s breath. It was a small gesture, and in that moment, it meant so much.

Stories like hers remind me why Tualatin Food Pantry is here. Our community’s needs continue to grow, and this year we are on track to serve 53,000 people. But behind every number is a person, a family, and a life circumstance that brought them through our doors. We are deeply grateful for the volunteers and donors who make it possible for us to offer not only food, but compassion, dignity, and a sense of community to our neighbors when they need it most.”
