Since 2010, we have provided hunger relief to residents of Serra Mesa. In 2020, the pandemic caused an increase in clients. We went from providing free food to 75 families to 165 families per week. We currently offer an outdoor drive-thru distribution every Wednesday. Volunteers are needed on Wednesdays only, rain or shine.
Volunteer duties include:
setting up/taking down pop-up tents and tables

Mission Statement
Emergency free food pantry for all residents of Serra Mesa (92123), currently offering a drive-thru distribution every Wednesday from 10am-1pm, rain or shine.
Description
The Serra Mesa Food Pantry is a grass roots project started in 2010, dedicated to providing emergency food to residents of Serra Mesa. Fresh, organically grown produce is often donated by the Serra Mesa Community Garden and Orchard. We maintain partnerships with the San Diego Food Bank, Feeding San Diego, Jewish Family Services, Panera, and Bread & Cie Bakery. We are grateful for Mission Village Christian Fellowship’s support and permission to use space on the property. We receive financial and food drive donations from Gethsemane Church and Preschool, Mary Magdalene Apostle Catholic Community, Mission Village Christian Fellowship, several local schools, scout troops, and individuals.
