Mission Statement/
Vision/Goals:
To serve the residents of Astoria

nutritional desires.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Clatsop Emergency Food Bank has been at this locations since 1975 serving the residents of
Astoria. It is completely volunteer supported both by those who work in service, distribution, stocking
etc. Funding to support the purchase of food subsidies is also volunteer based and we have always been
supplied by generous community members who support this endeavor.
We are open 5 days a week Monday-Friday from 3:00-4:00, and serve approximately 150-200
households every month with 200 volunteer hours donated by 60 volunteers. It takes a village to support
this kind of work, and it is with great joy and satisfaction we endeavor to serve the community.
