Friends, we need your help. We are preparing for the Willamina Community Food Pantry's Thanksgiving Food Box Distribution, and cutting to the chase, we need your financial contributions to make it happen. Year to date 2023 we've helped 34% more peopIe (and 45% more kids!) than we did in 2022, as extra pandemic food benefits expired early this year and inflation has outstripped families' food budgets. We estimate we will give away 250 boxes of food during our Thanksgiving event but we REALLY need your help to fill those boxes and make sure no family goes hungry over the holidays. A $35 contribution supports one Thanksgiving box for a local family. Can you help us fill one (or more!) boxes?? You can send a contribution of any amount to PO Box 53, Willamina, OR 97396 or via Venmo to

If you or someone you know needs food assistance, the Willamina Community Food Pantry is open every Wednesday from 4:00-6:00 pm at 340 B St in Willamina. The Pantry’s special Thanksgiving distribution will be Monday, November 20th from 4:00-6:00 pm at the West Valley Community Campus, 266 SE Washington St in Willamina.

Thank you for your support!

The Monroe Event Center staff wishes to thank everyone who supported us during the 8 years we were open. Whether you had an event or came to an event, that kept us going. We closed our Venue for good August 31st, 2022. A new endeavor will be opening soon. It will be great so give this new business your support! We need our local businesses to succeed.
As the MEC manager I want to say thank you again! We will keep this page open so people can still see the memories. We had many! Jamie, my Assistant and I hope we made your life memories a little brighter! We loved what we were doing. I hope it showed. Thank you so much!
