Valley Community Pantry

Our primary mission is to provide emergency food and shelter to local residents in need. We assist families in low-income brackets as well as those on fixed-incomes or those who are unemployed or underemployed. Each year, we provide services to thousands of working individuals and families who have a hard time meeting their basics needs in the valley and surrounding areas. Over 60% of our clients we serve are seniors (60+ years old) and children under 18 years of age.  The areas we service are: Hemet, San Jacinto, Lakeview, Nuevo, Homeland, Idyllwild and Mountain areas, Anza, Aguanga, and Sage area.
