PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Woodstock Pantry in Southeast Portland will replace its temporary facility with a new, permanent location and expand its capacity thanks to grant funding from Lowe's, Oregon Food Bank, SE Uplift, the Episcopal Bishop of Oregon Foundation, and other local community organizations. Lowe's is sponsoring a Red Vest Day on September 26, 2023 where their employees will complete a landscaping project to start the transformation of the pantry's space so it is suitable for pantry operations and can serve more people in need. The pantry is also seeking volunteers and $100,000 in charitable donations to improve its new location, set to open in January 2024.

Key Points: 
  • With the onset of the pandemic in 2020, the Woodstock community recognized the need for a food pantry in the Southeast Portland neighborhood.
  • In 2022, All Saints Episcopal Church committed to transforming the Woodstock Pantry into a permanent, sustainable food source for our area.
  • Woodstock Pantry is partnering with local Lowe's associates, construction pros, and impact partner Points of Light to complete this project.
  • WHAT: Volunteers from Lowe's and the Southeast Portland community are giving their time to support the Woodstock Pantry's transformation to a permanent facility.
