We are open on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Intake numbers are distributed beginning at 8:30 a.m. We kindly ask that guests do not line up before 8:00 a.m.
We are located at 1268 Broadway St NE, Salem, OR 97301. Please use the entrance on the gravel parking lot side of the building.
To help protect the privacy of every guest who visits our pantry, we only collect a name, the number of people in the household, and a zip code at intake. No ID is required to receive food.This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
