Pantry Program

Our Pantry Program provides supplement groceries to individuals and families in need. We receive groceries from a variety of sources including local growers and packers, community food wholesalers and retailers and the Second Harvest Food Bank. Acquisitions are made through a combination of donations and purchases.

The Pantry is open every weekday morning, Monday through Friday from 9am to 11:30am. It is also open on weekday afternoons by appointment only.
Families and individuals in our service area are permitted to receive groceries twice per month.
Our primary service area is the neighborhoods of Watsonville, west of Main Street.
We also provide emergency food assistance to those referred to us by the Community Food Hotline.

Pantry clients receive non-perishable foods, bread, fresh produce, and frozen vegetables. The amount of food allocated varies by family size. We are a host site of Second Harvest’s Food For Children program. Families with children receive additional food through a monthly on-site distribution.
