OUR FOUNDATION

Mission

The Fallbrook Food Pantry (FFP) provides access to healthy and nutritious food for all. Through food distribution, education, and health monitoring, we work to address food insecurity and the social determinants of health by reducing inequities. Our programs empower our clients to become self-sufficient, independent, and productive community members by offering a well-balanced selection of food, nutrition, wellness, and vocational education.

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.

CANDID Profile

FRESH FRUITS. FRESH VEGETABLES.

The Fallbrook Food Pantry has partnered with 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 over time--which is why we created
Food Rescue for Animals. One-hundred percent of our daily waste is donated to local farmers so they can feed
​their animals and as a responsible organization, we then are able to reduce our carbon footprint.

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.
