FOOD For Lane County Food & Donation Drive

This is both a traditional food drive and a "green" food drive. Funds donated go directly to FOOD For Lane County. Donations can be made now through March 2nd. You can make a donation HERE. https://www.givegab.com/campaigns/active-bethel-community-green-food-drive

Last year ABC raised 1,139lbs of food, the second highest amount collected of all the neighborhood associations that participated in the drive. Let's keep it up and beat last year's record!

Every dollar raised enables FFLC to distribute two meals. These meals go to people in need across Lane County, including many of our Bethel neighbors struggling to access healthy, nutritious food.

Traditional Food Drive:

As mentioned, in addition to the green food drive, ABC/Bethel Lion’s Club is holding a traditional food drive.  If you would like to donate food, please bring your donations to the Bethel Albertson's parking lot on Saturday, March 2 between 10am-2pm. ABC and Bethel Lion's Club volunteers will be stationed at a FFLC donation bin to accept your donations. Albertson's is located at 4740 Royal Ave, Eugene, OR 97402.
