Fallbrook Food Pantry

🥫❤️ Join Us for a Special Community Food Drive! ❤️🥫

On June 10, we will proudly recognize Catherine Souza as our Senior of the Month. In celebration of Catherine and her commitment to serving our community through the Fallbrook Food Pantry, we invite you to help us make a difference for local children in need.

We will be collecting donations to support the Food Pantry’s Backpack Nutrition Program, which provides nutritious food to children facing food insecurity. We are especially seeking kid-friendly, individually packaged food items such as granola bars, crackers, fruit snacks, applesauce pouches, cereal cups, and other easy-to-pack snacks.

📅 Senior of the Month Celebration & Food Drive
🕧 June 10 at 12:30 PM
📍 Center for Senior Well-Being East Building
399 Heald Lane, Fallbrook

Can’t attend the celebration? Food donations can still be dropped off at either of our Center buildings on June 8 or June 9.

Let’s come together to celebrate Catherine’s dedication to our community while helping ensure local children have access to healthy food throughout the summer. Every donation makes a difference!

“I’m a single mother of two, and it's difficult to pay rent, buy groceries, and supply them with essentials and clothing. Being a single mom is very difficult because I’m a father and mother to my children. I must stretch the money out. ... My job cut my hours, so I don’t have the same income I used to. I'm somewhat forced to come to the pantry since it helps, and my family and I need it.”
- Alisha

Through stigma, struggle, and security, The Fallbrook Food Pantry continues to serve those who need help. We aim to provide fresh produce and educational resources to those of us who are disproportionately affected by the rise in food and housing prices, and do so without shame or discrimination.

"No one has ever become poor by giving."

🌎 Today, we were able to serve 154 households! (That's over 400+ community members who now have fresh, nutritious food and a huge weight off of their shoulders.)

Thank you to our donors, partners, supporters, and volunteers for sustaining this vital service!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for our 2026 Grease Gala.

In the past 5 years we've averaged $150,000-$185,000 at our Gala fundraisers, and we set our target there. Due to economic strain, small turnout, and donor hesitation, this year only brought in $67,000.

While nights like these always come with big goals, what stayed with us most was the true support, time together, and care shared throughout the evening. We are thankful for every person who came, gave, helped, stood beside us, or simply took the time to believe in what we do.

The work we do here at the Fallbrook Food Pantry is less about one perfect night, and more about growing a circle of people who care and are willing to walk alongside us. This gathering reminded us that those people are here, and that kind support means more than we can say. Your kindness and trust in our work will help us keep making a real difference in the lives of those we serve, and to keep bringing healthy food and other needed items to people in our town of Fallbrook who need them most.

We’re thankful for the steps forward, the bonds made, and the chance to keep going together. Thank you for being part of our story. We will continue, ever forward, towards the goal of ending food insecurity in our area.
