Holiday Bazaar Committee
Preparation for our annual Holiday Bazaar is truly a year-long process. Busy hands crochet, paint, knit, assemble, build, create, and craft beautiful handmade items. Committee members excitedly share ideas they’ve found on Pinterest and meet to plan how to make this year’s bazaar the “best ever”. In the end nearly everyone in the congregation finds a way to be involved. We donate the proceeds from our bazaar to a number of local charities.
Willowbrook Food Pantry
Willowbrook Food Pantry was established in 2002 with the commitment to serve the food insecurity families in Sherwood, Tigard, Newberg, and the surrounding area.
Willowbrook is operated by exceptional volunteers, Jesus’s hands and feet through faith and service. Currently, we have 35 volunteers doing 200 plus hours per month. We hope to continue to meet the hunger needs of our community.
We are in partnership with the Oregon Food Bank, as well as 4 Churches, Target of Sherwood, several organizations e.g.: Sparrow Dental office, Pirates of Pinehurst and 2 Sherwood elementary schools. Willowbrook was a recipient of $1200.00 from Mt. Home UMC Bazaar. We are blessed with financial support from individuals and groups.
Willowbrook is a shopping pantry. We are not a food distribution center, but we are a community food pantry. We know food insecurity will always be with us, especially in these uncertain times. No documentation or gender identity or immigration status would ever be necessary to receive food.
We are privileged to have Mountain Home UMC as one of our churches who support Willowbrook Food Pantry.
In 2025, we assisted 2391 families with 11,048 people. We purchased 11,461 grocery items and spent $10,960 from WFP budget in 2025.
In Christ’s Love,
