Are You In Need of Food?

Our Food Pantry distributes to people in need in Oakland and Alameda County.  We distribute food every Wednesday from 11am to 4pm and Friday from 10am to 2pm.

The pantry is designed to assist individuals and families with emergency food.  If you are or someone you know is in need of food, please bring a photo ID (such as driver's license or state identification) during our regular hours and we'll be happy to assist you.

Our aim is to provide a variety of healthy food.  Usually we have fresh fruits and vegetables, canned food, pasta or rice, bread, and protein.  Occassionally we have other items such as cereal, oatmeal, eggs, chicken, or tofu.

Food is distributed from a number of different sources such as the USDA, Alameda County, the city of Oakland, the Alameda County Community Food Bank, and donations from local businesses.  Due to the variety of sources we cannot guarantee specific items, however we try to provide healthy choices.

If you are in need of emergency food, please visit during our normal food pantry hours or click here to contact us.
