Holiday Food Baskets are provided to low-income families for Thanksgiving and Christmas. This is a community-wide effort to provide Thanksgiving and Christmas food to families and individuals who may not otherwise have enough to eat.

South Lincoln Resources coordinates canned food drives, procures perishable foods, packs boxes and distributes them to qualified applicants. This is accomplished with cooperation of schools, civic and social organizations, businesses and churches.
Our Holiday Food Baskets program gave out 165 Thanksgiving baskets serving 386 people in Waldport, Seal Rock, Yachats, Tidewater, Five Rivers and 10 Mile Creek.

For Christmas, Holiday Food Baskets program gave out 205 Christmas Baskets serving 549 people. For those that requested gifts were given from South Lincoln County Children's Christmas program to 67 families, serving 133 children.
Applications are available starting mid-September. There are deadline dates. Call South Lincoln Resources at 541-563-3710, Ext. 1. We will call back!
