The South Benton Resource Center is many things for our community. We are best know for the South Benton Food Pantry, located in the beautiful Willamette Valley, in the friendly town of Monroe. We’re proud to source our food locally, working with partners like the Corvallis Farmers Market, Linn Benton Food Share, and neighboring farms and stores.
We’re dedicated to helping our community. We provide:
Emergency food for those in need.
Resources and tools to help families access support services.
Opportunities to connect with others and build a stronger community.
We believe everyone deserves access to good food and a supportive community.
At the South Benton Food Pantry, we’re reimagining how people access food. We offer a dignified, shopping-style experience where you can choose the fresh fruits, vegetables, and bread that best meet your needs.

Because to us, feeding our area’s well-being extends beyond food—it’s about building a strong, resilient community.
Need referrals to other agencies or seeking special assistance? We’ve got you covered. Our goal is to ensure not just sustenance, but the best possible nutrition. Beyond food, our offerings include essentials like diapers, wipes, and soap products. We understand the challenges of a limited budget, and we’re here to help in any way we can.
