“Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.” (Romans 12:13, NIV)
For over 35 years, the Drop-In Center has been providing a delicious, hot meal to the most vulnerable members of our community. The Drop-In Center has become a fixture in the neighborhood, as clients are always met with a welcoming smile, a warm welcome, and a unique sense of community.
Every Monday and Thursday between 2-4 p.m., our Drop-In Center Ministry Team serves 400-600 meals a week to the homeless and low-income people of our community. Through the Drop-In Center, FBC also distributes food baskets and participates with the Oregon Food Bank and other agencies to fight hunger in the downtown area. To get an emergency, 30-day food box, just contact one of the following agencies: Outside In, Transition Projects Inc, Central City Concern or Northwest Pilot Project to get a referral.
This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

The Drop-In Center is still providing food during the Covid-19 crisis. However, our hours are temporarily changed to 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm and we are serving a “to-go” meal at our entryway on 11th Avenue.
