Every week, the Woodstock Pantry provides groceries and other essentials to over 300 neighbors, housed and unhoused, experiencing food insecurity. We're a volunteer-run community resource built on the principle of Food for All Oregonians.

Pantry Hours

Our shopper-style pantry is open Fridays & Saturdays, 10:45 A.M.–2:00 P.M.

  • Lottery numbers are distributed at 10:45 A.M. Numbers are called in order starting at 11:30 A.M. Patrons must be in line to hear their number called; missed numbers move to the back of the line.
  • Once all numbers have been called, it's first come, first served until 2:00 P.M. (must be checked in by 1:45 P.M.). We may close early if supplies run out.
  • Neighbors who meet income eligibility may shop once per week (not both days).
