Pendleton is home base for CAPECO — the Community Action Program of East Central Oregon — which runs both the regional food bank supplying pantries across six counties and Pendleton's own pantry windows, including a Thursday-evening slot. Senior food boxes (CSFP) distribute on a published route through the region's towns.
CAPECO's Pantry Windows
CAPECO's pantries page lists Pendleton-area distribution on Tuesdays 9 a.m.–noon and 1–3 p.m. plus Thursday evenings 5–7 p.m. — with its regional food bank warehouse open weekdays (Monday–Thursday 8–4, Friday mornings). Note CAPECO has operated from multiple Pendleton addresses and announced a mid-summer move — call (541) 276-1926 to confirm the current distribution site before visiting.
Senior Boxes and Meal Sites
CAPECO administers the CSFP Senior Food Box program on a published monthly route through Umatilla, Morrow, Gilliam, and Wheeler county towns — its food page carries the schedule. Pendleton's city resource sheet adds free meal sites (midday meals most days, plus Sunday afternoon dinner), and Oregon 211 tracks everything current.
