Nehalem Bay Community Services are located in the Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church.

CHILD
CHILD is a program where every autumn, school children in Nehalem get a backpack for the start of the school year that contains basic school supplies for their grade level, plus a brand new outfit (including a warm coat, pants, top, sox, underwear and shoes) plus a bathing suit and towel if requested, to support our kids in learning to swim.
At Christmastime, each child will get something on their wish list, plus clothes and a warm coat (if they didn’t get one in August). Parents need to register their child for both of these things. Registration forms are available at the church or school offices within our service area.
All of the above programs are supported solely by financial gifts from the community, goods from the Oregon Food Bank, and other donors. If you would like to support this work, please send a check to the Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church and designate which social service you wish to support. 100% will go to that program.
Munch-a-lunch
provides lunches for school kids during the summer and in the school year during school holidays. Call the church or order through the school district.
