For people who need a meal today or groceries to take home.
- Choose a meal if you cannot cook or store groceries. Choose a pantry for food to take home. Check the town, service time, and age restrictions; office hours may not be serving hours.
- A “2nd/4th Saturday” entry runs on those Saturdays of the month, not every Saturday. Call about holiday closures, supplies, service area, intake, and documents before a long trip.
- For grocery benefits, apply at one.oregon.gov or call 800-699-9075, weekdays 7 AM–6 PM. Ask ODHS whether you qualify for expedited SNAP. You can apply without all documents; keep notices and interview dates.
- Bring bags or a cart if you have them. Tell the pantry about allergies, cooking/storage limits, and whether someone else will collect food for you. Each site sets its own access rules; this sheet does not establish eligibility.
- Waste to Taste groceries require an appointment at burritobrigade.org/waste-to-taste/: 1775 W 6th Ave, Mon–Thu 4–6 PM; Fri 3–5 PM. One household appointment every other week, at most two per month; no proof of income or hardship required. Text 541-632-3239 if the booking calendar will not load. This grocery pickup is separate from weekend meal distribution.
If you cannot get help: If a site is closed or you cannot travel, ask 211 about another meal, a pantry nearer your town, or delivery options and their eligibility. FOOD for Lane County food finder: foodforlanecounty.org, 541-343-2822. LaneHelp manages this sheet; FFLC does not manage all listed providers.
