Senior meal sites in Gilliam, Hood River, Morrow, Sherman, Umatilla, Wasco and Wheeler counties have suspended their Congregate Meals.  Some sites are providing “to-go” or “drive thru” meals.

Areas that provide Home Delivered Meals may continue with precautionary measures in place.

Food Pantries & Meal Sites
Most food pantry and meal sites, as of right now, will continue to be open but are taking precautionary measures. 

Be aware that some pantry’s have changed their distribution process.  Some pantry’s are giving out pre-selected boxes of food.  Please be patient and expect to be asked to stay outside.  See pantry information HERE.

Congregate Meals

Various communities throughout Gilliam, Hood River, Morrow, Sherman, Umatilla, Wasco, and Wheeler counties offer nutritious meals in a group setting for individuals age 60 and above, and their spouses (regardless of age). Frequently, the mealtime also includes recreational and social activities, as well as nutrition/health education. 

Home Delivered Meals

This program is more than just a meal! It is often the highlight of an isolated and lonely senior's day. It also fosters independent living, a sense of security, and helps to prevent premature or unnecessary admittance into a care facility.

Supplemental Food Assistance
(Food Pantries)

Supplemental food is available at various locations throughout Umatilla, Morrow, Gilliam, and Wheeler counties to individuals and families who are in immediate need of food.
