Welcome! Philomath Community Services (PCS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 1991, with our earliest program (now called Nancy’s Food Pantry) dating back to 1974. We operate under this Mission:

We provide locally based programs to meet the basic needs of the people of West Benton County and the surrounding region to sustain healthy, resilient individuals, families and communities.

We presently have five programs that provide food, garden education, clothing, select daily living items, and seasonal gift baskets to those local individuals and families who need these services the most.

All programs are housed under one roof to minimize overhead. PCS is a volunteer-based organization overseen by a Board of Directors and an Executive Director. This is truly a “neighbor helping neighbor” group of people who care for and want to make life better for their friends and neighbors. Our motto is People Helping People.

We strive to serve everyone with dignity and respect. We serve in accordance with this Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity Statement as well as the USDA Nondiscrimination Statement.
