COMMUNITY GARDENS


Food Pantries are a place whereindividuals and families in need(those who are at or below 185%of the Federal Poverty Limit) canaccess 3 to 5 days of food suppliesto supplement other householdresources. They are typicallystaffed by volunteers (often associ-ated with one of the area's manyfaith-based organizations); openmultiple times during the monthand, at their best, work from a phi-

losophy of "Manage the Product,Not the People." Many Pantriesthroughout the region are "shop-ping-style" programs that offerhouseholds the variety and selec-tion of what they can really use(and what family members willactually eat), while substantiallyreducing waste. Most Pantry sitesallow access up to 12 times peryear (once a month). While eachof these organizations encourages

open communitywide access,Pantries should be contacteddirectly for questions regarding IDrequirements and service bound-aries. (Note: Programs supplied byOregon Food Bank do not requireSocial Security information as apre-requisite for receiving foodassistance.)
