Registering for groceries is quick and simple. We are committed to removing barriers so our community can access the food they need. Our staff and volunteers can register you on the spot—no paperwork or documentation is required. The process is fully self-certified.

We don’t just serve—we build trust. Our trained outreach team engages with people on the streets, in parks, and in encampments across South County. Through intensive community outreach, we bring services directly to clients where they are—supporting unhoused neighbors, helping individuals get to medical appointments, and providing consistent case management.

Through this connection-first model, we’re able to:

• Provide immediate essentials like food, hygiene kits, blankets, and tents

• Offer compassionate support and a nonjudgmental presence

• Connect individuals to case management, shelter referrals, and benefits navigation

• Work toward permanent housing solutions with dignity and respect
