Food pantries urge Corvallis residents to save food stamps, rent money, take advantage of free food services

Food banks and pantries in Corvallis continue to be available for those facing food insecurity, with modifications in place to distribute resources safely. Since the pandemic began, the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry provides boxes of food for clients to pick up.  For those facing food insecurity, Kim Anderson, purchasing agent for the pantry, said people can visit the distribution area outside the building to pick up food, with the help of volunteers. She noted that everyone who visits the pantry must wear a mask. “Now, they do have some choice in what they can get, but basically it’s a standardized box of necessary items - three or four days-worth of food, per person,” Anderson said.

Story Next Door: Ballard joins the fight against homelessness

Marion Ballard’s roughest moment came on a rainy night last fall. He was homeless, camping under a tarp in the Timberhill area of Corvallis. No sleeping bag. No tent. He got so wet that, sometime in the early morning hours, he decided to walk down the hill to a bus shelter. Every article of clothing he had was soaked, as well as his other belongings. “I just sat there waiting for the sun to come up and the daytime drop-in center to open,” he said Monday during an interview at the men s shelter on Southeast Chapman Place. “There was no part of me that wasn’t wet. My clothes were wet all day. That was the low point, my worst night.”
