The Klamath Interfaith Food Pantry was formed in 2024 through a partnership between Klamath Lutheran Church, Hope Lutheran Church, Klamath Falls Friends Church, and the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Klamath County after both the Klamath/Hope Lutheran pantry and the Friends pantry faced closure. Rather than let these long-standing ministries end, volunteers from all four congregations came together in a spirit of unity to launch a new, collaborative pantry located in the Klamath Lutheran Church basement.

The Pantry operates entirely through volunteers and relies solely on donations and food from the Klamath-Lake County Food Bank. It uses a client “shopping model,” allowing individuals and families to choose the items they need with dignity and flexibility. The pantry is open the last two Tuesdays of each month from 5:30 to 7:00 PM. Together, this interfaith partnership is a living expression of shared faith and compassion, committed to feeding the hungry, supporting neighbors, and working side by side in service to the community.
