Helping families in need in North Tillamook County through food and clothing assistance, as well as informational access to community support partnerships.
Please help us meet the need for food assistance. Over 5000 of your Tillamook County neighbors depend on SNAP benefits to make sure they and their children have enough to eat. With SNAP benefits on hold, local food banks will do their best to make sure nobody goes hungry. That’s where you come in.
While we get some super-low-cost food from Oregon Food Bank, we also have to purchase food we distribute from local and big-box stores. We’re going to do our best to continue to distribute an average of 80 lb of groceries per family—enough to feed the family for a week.
We encourage you to donate to the food drives you’ll see popping up soon, but if you can donate money, we can buy food at a discount. Please make a donation today!
We’re working on compiling a list of resources for people needing assistance. Check back soon.
Food distribution at our new location. We are all moved in across the parking lot and ready for distribution day at the new location (the former Nehalem Bay Clinic and Pharmacy at 230 Rowe St in Wheeler) on Tuesday 10/21, noon till 3:00. You'll use the same parking lot as our former location.
This move has happened seamlessly and with no disruption to distribution thanks to a generous, problem-solving, creative community.
Our deepest gratitude to the community: donors, clients, volunteers, agency partners including Nehalem Bay Community Services, Coastal Junkers, and especially Nehalem Bay Health District (NBHD)
The NBHD has provided the NCFB with a home for 33+ years. And in this interim period they have once again shown themselves as a committed partner regarding food security for our region.
We are honored to serve the community and look forward to seeing customers and volunteers at the new streamlined location.
We will have a learning curve, so please be patient with us! Allow a bit of extra time as we learn how best to serve you.
Due to space constraints, there is no clothing bank at our new location. The old clothing bank is closed.
Nehalem Bay Health District provides temporary location for North County Food Bank. Nehalem Bay Health District and North County Food Bank reached an agreement for the food bank to move into the current Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy temporarily. The Food Bank appreciates all the people who came together to make this move possible: the Health District, Nehalem Bay Community Services, and concerned community members. We are going to do our best to continue service without disruption during the move. Read more.
