St. Charles SVDP Food Pantry has a new conveyor belt!!
No more lugging up the boxes of our Oregon Food Bank order – our weekly order can be over 1000+ lbs!
No more trying to get loaded food boxes down those 10 concrete stairs!

SC SVDP moved into our new Pantry site in September 2020.
And… we had a problem – actually, 10 problems AKA as 10 concrete stairs! These stairs posed mobility challenges to our Pantry’s visiting clients and working volunteers. Having limited funds to solve a potential safety issue, we had to think “outside the box.” Born from a brainstorming idea: “How about a conveyor belt??” our new conveyor belt was installed by Schommer Construction in October 2020. It is the newest addition to our Pantry, has two motors and can move in two directions. Besides being SC SVDP’s major food supplier, the Oregon Food Bank also gave us a Network Support Fund grant that paid 90% of the conveyor belt price tag! Our thanks to all!
