The pantry is following THESE COVID-19 GUIDELINES for all volunteers.
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY and in place for all upcoming pantry distribution days:
- The OAFP has moved to curbside pick-up for our guests. We will do our best to honor all guest food requests and choices.
- Your bagged groceries will be loaded into your vehicle by an OAFP volunteer, and your identification will be returned. Please make sure your vehicle trunk, seats and floor are empty so groceries may be loaded, and social distancing can be observed.
- The food provided by OAFP is as safe as what you will find at a grocery. Like there, wash or cook all fresh produce before use. Also wipe off cans before handling.
There are no restrooms available at OAFP during this time and wait times may be longer than usual.
We anticipate high volume and ask for patience. We are practicing social distancing, and limiting the number of people in the building (only volunteers until further notice). Pantry guests will be instructed to remain in line in their cars until they reach the front of the line, and we will register the guests without having them in the building.
HOURS:
- Every week on Tuesday from 9 - 11 am (hours are strict, we do not open early or stay open late)
- Every FIRST Saturday from 9-11 am (please note, we are not open on a Saturday in June of 2021).
- Every SECOND and LAST Thursday from 4 pm to 6 pm (hours are strict, we do not open early or stay open late)
Please follow instructions from signs and from our volunteers.
- We ask that guests follow the signs and park accordingly.
- Properly worn masks are required the entire time you are registered and having items put in your vehicle.
- Bring your ID and Proof of Residency in the Oregon School District- have them both ready.
- Do not get out of your car. We will come to you.
- Do not bring your own bags. We cannot use them at this time.
- Please shut off your car while waiting #SaveThePlanet
- Be patient; the process has been working smoothly as long as all guests follow the instructions and the signs.
Please help us spread the word to folks you know use or may need our services. We are doing our best to remain open during this time.
