*Starting in January of 2025, patrons must provide both a photo ID and a current utility bill to be able to access the pantry. This new requirement is in addition to our current pantry usage policies. Patrons must be from the North Bend School district and may only select items for people in their own household. Patrons may shop once per week, may fill one provided paper bag or 2 plastic bags and must take note of the limits on items. The pantry is meant to be a stop gap, not a full grocery shopping experience. We encourage patrons to take only what they need as others depend on the pantry too.
