Hey TransPonder family–let’s eat! TransPonder has partnered with FOOD For Lane County to provide FREE food at our office on THURSDAYS.

🍎 What: free bakery, produce, and dairy items
🧅 When: Thursdays from 10a to 2p (Check this page for any date changes.)
🥬 Where: The Lavender Network, 440 Maxwell Road, Eugene, OR 97404
🥔 Who: Everyone, all ages 

The food will be picked up by TransPonder team members and volunteers on Thursday morning and displayed on a clean table in our office for people to stop by and pick up until supplies last. Bring containers/boxes/bags for the food you take! Please take however much or little you want for your household, and if you’re curious what’s available that day, you can call and/or email the office on Thursdays after 9:30a.

We’re closed from noon to 1p for lunch, and at 2p, the tables and food will be taken down.

EXTRA SERVING

OR EUGENE/SPRINGFIELD ONLY: TransPonder will drop off food boxes for low-income people of all ages who live within Eugene or Springfield and are not able to visit an in-person food distribution program or for whom traveling to another location to receive food is otherwise prohibitive. A bag containing shelf-stable food items will be dropped off at your front door!

The form will be open from 12:00pm on Wednesday until 11:59pm on Sunday, for orders which go out the following Tuesday. It will close earlier if we reach our capacity for weekly drop-off orders. 

SOLO PARA EUGENE/SPRINGFIELD: TransPonder entregará cajas de alimentos para personas de baja ingreso a cualquier edad quienes viven en Eugene o Springfield y no pueden visitar una programa de distribución de alimentos en persona o para quienes viajar a otro lugar para recibir comida es una dificultad. ¡Una bolsa que contiene comida no perecedera será entregada a su puerta!

El formulario estará disponible desde las 12:00pm el miércoles hasta las 11:59pm el domingo, para órdenes que se entregan el siguiente martes. Cerrará más temprano si alcanzamos a nuestra capacidad para las órdenes de entrega semanales.

2025 CLOSURES (no food program): June 19, Nov 27, Dec 25.
