Food Bank

The Food Bank is open to residents of Santa Anita, La Mision, Ursula Galvan, Santa Rosa, and the migrant farm camps. The future for thousands of adults and children seems uncertain, and poverty is common. Food to feed a family is their greatest concern. Many of our Food Bank patrons survive with part-time work, seasonal employment, low wages, or simply nothing. Through our donors, we are the sole source of dependable food and nutrition. 

The foodbank in La Mision provides basic food to over 650 families a month, including 1600 children; in 2016, we served 55 families.

We provide rice, beans, pasta, flour, tomato sauce, oil, two pounds of frozen chicken, and two cans of tuna. Other select items such as baby formula, diapers, bath soap, canned food, blankets, donated clothing, school supplies, shampoo, and dental care items are available from our donors. Everything is in limited quantities. The Federal food program that provided limited support is overwhelmed. In the past, we were able to buy some food from Mexican Social Services but now there is no extra food available for us to purchase from the Government and our food cost has risen by 40% since 2020. We are a 501c3 charity for US tax purposes and provide annual tax statements to our donors that are over 250.00.
