Centro Cultural Food Pantry, operated by Centro Cultural of Washington County, is a nonprofit grocery-style food pantry serving the Cornelius community. The organization has over 50 years of history in Washington County and operates the Centro Mercado, which opened in May 2025 in a historic downtown storefront, offering free groceries including fresh produce, dry goods, and dairy items to families facing food insecurity. The pantry distributes over 600,000 pounds of food annually, sourced through partnerships with the Oregon Food Bank, local grocery stores, and regional farms.
