Food Pantry
Food Pantry
Now in its thirtieth year of operation, National City’s food pantry is open from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., every Wednesday. The food pantry offers supplemental food for individuals and families in the neighborhood who do not have enough to eat. We give out over 100 bags of food each week.
For those who have cooking facilities, we give a balanced selection of canned meats, beans, vegetables, and fruit as well as starches (rice, spaghetti, etc.), and staples such as toilet paper. For people who have no cooking facilities, we distribute bags of easy-to-use snack and toiletry items. Co-funding provided by CAFB.
We appreciate these donated items.
