We started a newsletter as a way to communicate what we are doing and what are plans are for the near future. Click here to read our October newsletter, The Pantry Self.
We are expanding and in need of dough
It has been a dream to have a farmers market truck specifically designed to be a mobile pantry. We are excited to share that we’ve received a $205,000 Alameda County Unincorporated Area Community Development Block Grant. This grant is foundational to the expansion of our mobile food pantry program and the purchase of a new farmers market truck.
But the grant is not enough to build the farmers market truck and get it on the streets in the community.
We have a $30,000 match that ends Oct 31st. Give today! The match may end, but the need for food for families will go on.
