Receiving Food Assistance at the North County Food Bank
The North County Food Bank offers individuals and families in need of food assistance access to our onsite Client Choice Food Pantry.
Client Choice Food Pantry
The pantry is set up similarly to a neighborhood grocery store. The pantry offers a variety of fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, meats, dairy products, baked goods, nonperishable canned food items, diapers for infants & toddlers, and period supplies.
Pantry clients shop by appointment only and can self-select the foods that best meet their dietary needs and preferences. Clients can stock up on enough food items to feed their families for two weeks. Clients can make appointments every two weeks.
