Poverty Causes Hunger in Marin County
Our Food Pantry helps thousands of low-income families and individuals in our community enjoy hearty, healthy meals, as well as feed many people who are experiencing homelessness. Having regular access to our Food Pantry prevents homelessness for many of our clients so they can save money to pay for rent and bills.
Food Pantry
Our pantry distributes 22,000 bags of groceries annually to over 375+ families every week and provides regular care packages including toiletries, socks, and underwear to our neighbors in need.
