Lebanon Fire District Partners With Local Organizations To Support Community Food Drive (Photo) - 11/03/25

The Lebanon Fire District is proud to partner with local organizations to support a community-wide food drive benefiting Lebanon’s food banks. The effort—organized by the Enliven Foundation—aims to help families affected by the temporary suspension of SNAP benefits during the ongoing government shutdown.

Local food banks are experiencing increased demand due to the lapse in SNAP assistance. Every contribution helps—a single dollar can purchase up to nine pounds of food through the Oregon Food Bank, stretching community resources further than individual retail purchases.

Donation barrels are now available at Lebanon Fire District Station 31 (1050 W. Oak Street) and other participating locations throughout the community. The drive will continue until SNAP benefits are reinstated.

“Supporting our neighbors in need is what community is all about,” said Fire Chief Joseph Rodondi. “We’re grateful to join our local partners to help families access food and essential resources during this time.”
