Bethlehem Inn urgently seeks food donations

Bethlehem Inn announced Tuesday it has an urgent need for food donations in support of its Emergency Meal Program.

The Inn said its pantries and freezers are running low and the number of people seeking support is rapidly increasing.

The following items are among the items needed to help replenish supplies to allow Inn staff to serve over 82,000 meals in the upcoming months: lunch meat, sliced cheese; margarine, individually packaged cereal/granola bars/fruit cups and coffee/creamer.

Please visit bethleheminn.org or the Inn’s Amazon wish list for additional needs.

Bethlehem Inn relies on the community’s generosity through in-kind donations for the success of its Emergency Meal Program. The Inn staff is very grateful for the support of volunteers, donors, foundations and non-profit partners that financially support the Inn’s meal program; however, the Inn relies on in-kind donations to supplement that funding to meet demand.

Donations are gladly accepted Monday – Friday 9 am – 4 pm at Bethlehem Inn located at 3705 N. Hwy. 97 in Bend.
