Food shortage: Shepherd’s House Ministries seeks urgent community donations

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Shepherd’s House Ministries is asking for urgent community support as it faces a critical shortage of food while serving hundreds of people across Central Oregon each day.

The nonprofit says it currently provides about 1,000 meals daily to individuals and families experiencing homelessness, hunger, and financial hardship, but pantry supplies are running low.

Organization leaders are now calling on the community to donate essential food items. Right now, they are in urgent need of the following:

• canned goods
• peanut butter
• rice
• dried beans
• noodles
• granola bars
• coffee
• shelf-stable milk
• other pantry staples

Donations can be dropped off at two locations: Shepherd’s House Ministries in Bend at 1854 NE Division Street, or in Redmond at 1350 South Highway 97.

The group says community contributions are critical to helping maintain meal services and support those in need.
