**Coronavirus (COVID-19)**
​

Please note that the Fallbrook Food Pantry is taking the Coronavirus (COVID-19) very serious
and here is how we are addressing/preventing the food insecurity concern.
As of MONDAY MARCH 16, 2020, we have made our food distributions
a “NO TOUCH" service.
Here’s how:
1.) Food Distribution is still a no-touch service:  all food
(dry goods, canned, frozen meats, dairy items, bread and fresh produce) will be pre-bagged.
SERVING:  MONDAY-FRIDAY 9:30AM-12:30PM
2.) No one is allowed to open bags and remove items that are unwanted—we cannot risk contamination.
All food in bags must leave with each family/individual.
3.) Asking clients to stand 6 feet apart while standing in line for food.
4.) Asking both volunteers and clients to wear masks at all times while in the pantry.
5.) Any new clients will be treated as an “emergency” and will be able to receive food with just an ID
(YOU MUST HAVE either a driver’s license, state ID, military, school, etc.).
6.) Our hours of operation will remain the same: Monday-Friday 9:30-12:30.
If clients show up early to stand in line—we will begin serving them as soon as possible--
even earlier than 9:30 to prevent “loitering” or too much contact with others.
7.) We need volunteers on Thursdays and Fridays right now!
8.) ALL FRESH PRODUCE (citrus/avocados) we are accepting at the dock doors from
  8am-2noon Monday-Friday and Saturdays until 11am.

In good health,
Shae Gawlak, Executive Director

OUR FOUNDATION

Mission

The Fallbrook Food Pantry is a non-profit organization primarily staffed by volunteers.  Its mission is to provide an adequate and nutritious supply of food to individuals in our community who are in-need.

Vision

​We envision a community where the pain and suffering caused by hunger do not exist.  We envision a community where those in-need have access to an adequate and nutritious supply of food.

Core Values

  • We believe that a nutritious diet is essential to the well being of the individuals in our community.
  • We believe that every individual should have access to a healthy and nutritious diet.
  • We believe that we must be good stewards of the funds and items donated to us and never violate the trust of our community.
  • We believe that we should respond to people in-need by advocating dignity, respect, and fairness for all people by providing hope through nurturing love and emotional support.
  • We believe that we should refer those in-need of clothing, medical care, shelter, educational resources, and other necessities to those organizations best able to fulfill those needs.
  • We believe that we should encourage our clients to become self-sufficient, independent, and productive members of the community.

FRESH FRUITS. FRESH VEGETABLES.

The Fallbrook Food Pantry has partnered with local grocery stores and farmers in the surrounding area to bring the freshest produce to our families.  We take great pride in the quality of fruits and vegetables that we stock each week, and we are very conscientious of the ever-growing waste that these foods generate after time--which is why we compost our out-dated produce, allowing us the opportunity to then give back to our growers.

OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS
We thank our loyal partners for their on-going support, because without them,
we would not be able to open our doors to the community 5 days a week.

BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE FOOD PANTRY

They say, "it takes a village to raise our children", and isn't that the truth?  Not only do our adult volunteers jump in to help us out every day, but so do our youth.  Giving back never felt so good!  Get involved...it just might be the best thing you ever did for someone else.
