I used to love coming here yet today was very disappointing. Theyve went from $40 to $55 donations and the EBT terminal is broken and I was told it wouldnt be fitted for another week

The staff is amazing. The parking is the issue other than that everything else is perfect. Make sure to have your trunk empty they will give you enough groceries for about 3 or 4 families.

Great place to pick up produce. $45 gets you a cart with goodies already loaded on, and they let you fill it up to the top with produce of your choice.

This is a food bank, so the variety of fruits, veggies and other items will vary from day to day. The parking is really bad to almost non-existent. However, if you plan your visit and allow time to find or wait for parking, bring an ice chest for refrigerated items and take your time to organize yourself, you will find this little "social market" to be a rare gem! Donate $40 to receive at least $200 or more in groceries. Don't have high expectations and you will be pleasantly surprised. For example, they will have bread, but they may only have white bread. Other times, they'll have ciabatta or artisan loaves with no labels. I personally love it! You will too. When you go, use my name, Monique Noriega, as your referral. They will give you a punch card to use to save even more money!

Do they give any meat like beef chicken or cheese food to make dinner or lunch

Yolie Saucedo | Aug 25, 2019
Amanda Arp | Aug 25, 2019

Yes they do...it varies from day to day but as an example the other day they gave out whole chickens, another day bags of cubed beef for stews, and seafood as well.

I have diabetes and once upon a time I used to get food from the salvation army in my neighborhood. They gave me a million things filled with carbohydrates, that a diabetic SHOULD NOT EAT. Is the food at this bank ideal for a diabetic?

Rudy Rodriguez | Aug 25, 2018
Susie Curado-Kam | Aug 25, 2018

I have diabetes too. Regular supermarkets are filled with things a diabetic should not eat as well. You should know what you can eat and choose accordingly. World Harvest has meat and produce and often sugar free drinks.

What day is better to go and find better products?

Elsa Perez | Mar 27, 2022
Marvin Arguelles Fuentes | Mar 27, 2022

It is a food bank where you can find a variety of products for the kitchen, such as vegetables and fruits, and you can also find meats and bread and much more for the reasonable price of $45 dollars, a very well stocked grocery cart, just like in the market, and about the better day, any day is good, believe me, it is convenient for you to go and serve yourself. Greetings

Manuel Carbajal | Aug 24, 2021
catarino silva | Aug 24, 2021
