Fill Your Pantry

About

Lane County Fill Your Pantry is a one-of-a-kind fall event that helps our community stock up directly from local farmers, ranchers, and food makers. It’s all about filling your pantry, freezer, and root cellar with nourishing staples for the winter—while putting your food dollars straight into the hands that grow and raise it. This is food sovereignty in action: neighbors supporting neighbors, building resilient local food systems one bulk bag at a time.

New This Year

This year, we're excited to partner with Lane County Bounty and Lane County Farmers Market, and we’re adding new options like delivery to reach even more folks—especially in rural areas! For the first time, SNAP will be accepted directly online for pre-orders, and our SNAP Match is $150 with no restrictions—meaning SNAP recipients can walk away with $300 worth of nourishing local food for just $150.

🌾 Sponsor Fill Your Pantry 

Presented by Willamette Farm & Food Coalition

Fill Your Pantry is more than a market—it's an act of care. It's a chance to nourish our neighbors, support local farmers, and invest in a more just food system. Every sponsorship directly fuels mutual aid, food justice, and regional food resilience.

Your support helps ensure that:

• All community members have access to local proteins at Farmers Markets 

• Children continue to receive funds to buy their own fruits, veggies, and edible plant starts

• Our Snap Match Fund continues to double SNAP dollars at participating markets including Fill Your Pantry

• Elders from the Siletz and Coquille Tribes receive culturally relevant Bounty Boxes delivered with care

This is what mutual aid looks like—neighbors supporting neighbors, so that fresh, nourishing, local food can reach every table.
