Pacific Pantry allows clients to visit the pantry once a month and choose the items they need the most. The number of items allowed are based on household size. Clients can choose from dairy, butter, eggs, cheese, meat, fresh vegetables, bread, and a variety of rice, pasta, sauce, tuna, peanut butter and other shelf stable and frozen foods. The pantry is open weekly from Thursday to Saturday except for specific holidays, please view our pantry calendars below.
All you need to access the pantry is a picture id. On your first visit, we will sign you into our system, where you will self-certify income levels and household size. Once you are in our client system, all you need is a picture ID to visit once a month. |
