Feed 196 families each week at Community Pantry in Anaheim
The Community Pantry pantry in Anaheim is running low just as demand rises; $3,600 will stock it for 7 weeks.
🇺🇸 Anaheim, California, United States1,614 views
Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Saturday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 196 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 38% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 18 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Anaheim market and keep every receipt.
Each $35 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $3,600 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,900
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,050
• Baby formula and diapers: $400
• Refrigeration and electricity: $250
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you peace. More neighborhoods should do this. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Praying for you. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Put this on a community board in Nakuru this morning. Thinking of Anaheim.
great idea, hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
