Food Pantry

The Hope on the Hill Food Pantry is a partner agency of Yamhill Community Action Partnership (YCAP) and is 1 of 13 emergency food pantries located throughout Yamhill County. Our Food Pantry provides a compassionate friendly atmosphere to families and individuals in need of assistance.
Hope on the Hill also has a small clothing closet available and open during food pantry hours of operation. Oregon is the second most food insecure state in the country. Due to the failing economy many people from all walks of life need assistance to stretch their food budget. It is our desire to provide nutrition and hope to as many families as possible. Yamhill County is 718 square miles and home to approximately 105,000 people. Of these residents, it is estimated 12% of families, 18% of individuals’ and 26% of children under the age of 18 currently live below the poverty level. Hope on the Hill’s food pantry provides emergency food boxes to families and individuals living with food insecurities. Hours of Operation / Horas de Operación
