Hello, neighbors! We are happy to host The Community Cupboard at the Malheur County Health Department (1108 SW 4th Street in Ontario).

This initiative was conceived by local volunteers who recognized a critical need and found a way to support community members facing food insecurity. For several years, the Cupboard was housed at Red Apple Market Place, providing access to those in need. We are the temporary home for the Community Cupboard until a permanent location can be found.

If you are able, we are accepting donations. Food insecurity is a real challenge in our community. See the information in the comments. 🍓🥔🌽

More than 1 in 5 Oregon adults drink excessively . Excessive alcohol use, including heavy and binge drinking, is the third leading cause of preventable death in Oregon. It can cause liver disease, injuries, heart disease and several types of cancer.

During Alcohol Awareness Month, we’re encouraging everyone to pause, reflect and make informed choices about alcohol consumption. Even small steps can help create safer, healthier communities across Oregon.

If you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol dependence or misuse, confidential help is available. Call Oregon’s substance use support line at 1-800-923-4357.

Do you know how much you drink in a week? 🍻🤔

Underage drinking and alcoholism are serious issues, and we’ve gotten pretty good as a society at understanding the harm they cause. We’re less aware of other kinds of excessive drinking, like binge drinking and heavy drinking, and the problems that come with them. They’re also both fully legal and socially encouraged — so they have a way of sneaking up on you.
