HELLO,

 

WE ARE A FAITH BASED FOOD BANK IN COOS COUNTY OREGON.  THREE YEARS AGO, WE WERE THE MOST POVERTY RITTLED COUNTY IN THE NATION.  WE ARE ONLY AN AIR BUBBLE OFF THE BOTTOM NOW, AT #7.  MOST OF THE JOBS ARE AT MINIMUM WAGE AND IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO RAISE A FAMILY ON SUCH A LOW INCOME, EVEN IF TWO PARENTS ARE WORKING.  THIS COUNTY IS NOT FINANCIALLY ON ITS KNEES, IT’S ON IT’S KNUCKLES.  IF YOU GO TO AN OREGON FOOD BANK SITE IN THIS COUNTY YOU CAN GO ONE TIME PER MONTH, YOU WILL RECEIVE A BOX OF FOOD AND SOME BREAD ON TOP . . . TOMORROW YOU ARE OUT OF A JOB, THREE KIDS AT HOME, YOU CAN RECEIVE FOOD ONLY ONE TIME PER MONTH, . . . HUM YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE A LITTLE HUNGRY!  PELICAN HARBOR IS TO FILL THE VOID IN THE MIDDLE.  YOU CAN COME TO THE HARBOR AS OFTEN AS WE ARE OPEN.  (TO BEGIN WITH ONE TIME PER WEEK.  BUT WILL GO UP TO THREE TIMES WHEN WE HAVE ENOUGH INVENTORIES).  DON’T GET ME WRONG, THE OREGON FOOD BANK IS DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB, BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH.

 

THE EMPLOYMENT/UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURES DON’T SHOW WHAT THE REALITY IS.  LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE FALLEN OFF THE UNEMPLOYMENT OFFICE ROLLS BECAUSE THEY HAVE EXHAUSTED THEIR BENEFITS AND ARE NO LONGER COUNTED.  THE LUCKY ONES WHO HAVE JOBS ARE MOSTLY UNDEREMPLOYED,( LOW WAGE).

 

THUS . . . WE HAVE BEGUN ‘PELICAN HARBOR’  (A PELICAN SCOOPS UP HIS FOOD TO EAT LATER,

 AND A HARBOR IS WHERE YOU COME IN A STORM FOR PROTECTION AND REST).  WE EXPECT AT THE BEGINNING TO SERVICE RIGHT AROUND 100 FAMILIES EACH TIME WE ARE OPEN.

 

WE NEED HELP!  DO YOU DONATE YOUR PRODUCTS AT OR PAST PULL DATE, CRUNCHED BOXES, PRODUCT THAT IS PERFECTLY EDIBLE, BUT DOESN’T MEET YOUR STANDARDS. WE WILL GIVE

 OUT (FREE) FOOD, CLOTHING, NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS, CLEANING AND HYGIENE

 SUPPLIES, BEDDING, TOWELS, PET FOOD AND SUPPLIES (BECAUSE IF YOUR HUNGRY, SO IS

 ROVER): AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE CAN COLLECT FOR THE RESIDENTS OF COOS COUNTY.

 NO DONATION IS TO BIG.

 

WE NEED A WAREHOUSE-HANDOUT SIGHT IN THE COOS BAY AREA, DO YOU HAVE ONE THAT YOU CAN DONATE FOR OUR USE.  TALK WITH YOUR TAX PREPARER THIS MAY BENEFIT YOU GREATLY.  WE ALSO NEED $ TO ROLL THE TRUCKS, FROM PORTLAND IT IS A $500. BILL AND FROM L.A. IT IS ALMOST $1,500.  YES IT TRANSPORTS 26 PALLETS, BUT THEY WANT CASH. 

 

WE ARE A 501 C-3, REGISTERED FEDERAL NON PROFIT, SO YOU CAN RIGHT YOUR DONATION OFF YOUR TAXES.

ANYTHING YOU CAN DONATE WILL BE A TRUE BLESSING. THIS IS AN ALL-VOLUNTEER

 ENDEAVOR.

 

 THIS IS OUR PASSION. 

This site will present our organization's cause or ideas to the world. As communicating isn't always easy, we'll try to include photos and images that convey our message (remember, a well-chosen picture is a great way to get a point across). We'll also include specific information about our organization and its members, so no one forgets the people behind the pictures.

On this home page, we'll introduce our cause or message. We'll also try to include a picture or two that represents the kind of work we do.
