Welcome to the East Bay Food Pantry

At the East Bay Food Pantry, our mission is to “engage, educate, and empower the East Bay in creating a hunger-free community”. Food is available to anyone in need in the East Bay. Our “client choice” food programs are all grounded in our Access Nutrition Initiative, providing healthy food choices and nutrition education to address inequalities of access to healthy foods. We strive to provide a consistent inventory of whole grain foods, fruits and vegetables, and high-quality protein and dairy items.

Our Thrift Shop…

All items in our Thrift Shop are donated. It is open to the public, and purchases help support our food programs.

We rely on support from our community to sustain our programming. We are a 501c(3) non-profit organization, and donations are tax-deductible.

“The people here are non-judgmental. They meet people where they are and give them the help they need.”
- Krista
