Weekly Grocery Program (Food Bank) - Pick up day
Wednesday, January 14, 2026 (11:00 AM - 4:00 PM) (PST)
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.
