Bethlehem Inn said Sunday it has an urgent need for food donations in support of its Emergency Meal Program. The Inn is now providing shelter services to at least 150 adults and children each night and serving over 108,000 meals during the next year!
Bethlehem Inn relies on the community’s generosity through in-kind donations for the success of its Emergency Meal Program. The following items will help replenish the Inn’s pantry: sliced cheese; margarine, individually packaged cereal/granola bars/fruit cups, jelly, pasta, canned vegetables and soups and coffee/creamer (please visit bethleheminn.org/Current Needs for a complete list).
The Inn is also in need of essential non-food items including: liquid laundry soap (HE), toilet paper, Kleenex, warm gloves, hats, jackets, boots and hand warmers.
Donations are gladly accepted Monday – Friday 9 am – 4 pm at Bethlehem Inn located at 3705 N. Hwy. 97 in Bend. To schedule a drop outside of those hours, please contact Courtney Gallant at volunteer@bethleheminn.org.
