Final rural summer meal routes run this week
Triangle Lake's last five-lunch pickup is Tuesday; Oakridge and Dexter-area stops follow Wednesday and Thursday.
FOOD for Lane County's rural grab-and-go routes make their final scheduled rounds this week, giving children five lunches in one pickup.
The Triangle Lake Food Box stop runs Tuesday from 11 a.m. to noon. Wednesday's Oakridge route stops at Oakridge Pantry from 10 to 10:35 a.m., Salmon Creek Park from 11:05 to 11:25 a.m. and Oakridge High School from 11:50 a.m. to 12:20 p.m.
Thursday's route stops at Pleasant Hill Community Center from 10:50 to 11:20 a.m. and Dexter Pantry from noon to 12:20 p.m. The official public post and dated local reporting agree on the route pattern. Addresses are best confirmed from the linked official post because one secondary listing contains a conflicting Pleasant Hill street number.
Field notes
What changed: The rural summer-food program enters its final scheduled service week.
Why it matters: Each rural pickup provides five lunches at once, and the next regular route will not follow after the listed end dates.
Who may be affected: Children and families around Triangle Lake, Oakridge, Pleasant Hill and Dexter.
