Philomath Community Services

Philomath Community Services (PCS) was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 1991. Our earliest food bank program (now called Nancy’s Food Pantry) was established in 1974 by Nancy Flegal. 50 years later, we are still growing and changing every day, operating 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 strive to serve all our clients with dignity and respect. One building, five programs: Currently, PCS focuses on programs that provide food, garden education, clothing, select daily living items, fire wood, 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 and is overseen by a Board of Directors made up of local residents. This is truly a “neighbor helping neighbor” group of people who care for and want to make life better for their friends and neighbors.

We serve in accordance with this Inclusivity Statement as well as the USDA Nondiscrimination Statement.
