Another Sharing Pantry is available in Baker City

BAKER CITY – The community of Baker City has another sharing pantry available.  The new addition was made possible through funding from the Baker County Local Community Advisory Council, and in collaboration with Blue Mountain Baptist Church. 

According to information from the Baker County Safe Communities Coalition, “The folks with Systems of Care-Wraparound Services dreamt up this idea nearly 4 years ago.  These pantries have been of great assistance to our community. They have mostly been stocked by generous donations from community members.”

This new pantry is located at 2998 8^th Street in Baker City, across from the high school parking lot.

Another pantry is located in the Eagles parking lot at 2936 H Street in Baker City

The basics: 

•Meals in a can (stew, chili, soup)
