Creswell Food Pantry

The Creswell Food Pantry is a program of Community Food for Creswell, a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Distribution hours are Thursdays from 9:30am to 12:00pm at the Cobalt Activity Center (364 Cobalt Lane, Creswell, Oregon 97426).

Income-eligible customers may receive fresh produce, canned and packaged foods, as well as frozen meat each week as needed. Additionally, they may shop at one or more of any of the thirty FOOD for Lane County Partner Agency food pantries in Lane County.  No one should go hungry.  We ask that our customers form a car-line that begins at our entrance at 364 Cobalt Lane and runs eastward to First Street. Our staff will provide instruction regarding entrance to the parking lot, hands-free intake, and food loading while customers remain in their vehicle.
