Weekly Grocery Program (Food Bank) - Pick up day
Tuesday, March 10, 2026 (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) (PDT)
Description
What is food insecurity? It’s many things. It’s parents who skip a meal once a week so their kids can eat. It’s also people who have to choose between buying groceries or paying their rent on time. It’s anyone who doesn’t know how they’ll get their next meal—and that number is growing.
We have seen an increase of use at People for a Healthy Community - Grocery Program (food bank) on average of one new person per week using the program. So if you’re asking if grocery programs are really necessary, the answer is yes—more than ever.
The Grocery pick-up is available at People for a Healthy Community (PHC) office on:
Tuesdays - 10am - 2pm
Wednesdays - 11am - 4pm
With the rising unaffordability and income inequality Grocery Programs are needed more than ever.
Free, Our requirements on your first visit typically involve filling out an intake form. Expect to provide ID and proof of address. You will be asked for personal information, which will be kept confidential, such as your income and expenses as well as how many people are in your household. No one is turned away.
