COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL Pantry from A1 popular request. With demand came more networking with oth- er local groups – and more clientele. Just before last year’s wildfires sent people en masse searching for aid and shelter, Campbell recalls the group was serving 400 to 500 families per week. During that disaster, one week saw about 80,000 pounds worth of items dis- tributed to desperate fami- lies. It was around this time the team started seriously considering taking on a more official status. As of Jan. 1, ROP has op- erated as a second official food pantry for Cottage Grove – the other being Community Sharing. The new status has given ROP access to food from the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture and Food for Lane County. The latter, which oper- ates as Lane County’s food bank, makes a particular effort to obtain and provide food relevant to Latino cul- ture, a line item for which ROP is finding demand. “What we have seen is that there’s a huge amount of folks that are really look- ing for culturally relevant foods that are often very expensive or difficult to obtain in Cottage Grove,” STARFIRE s Lumber Co. www.starfirelumber.com A Proud Supporter of Our Community Since 1983 Anytime.
