ALF Food Pantry

We are an all volunteer not-for-profit whose vision is an end to food insecurity in the areas we serve.

We work to achieve our vision by operating a food pantry staffed entirely by volunteers and providing groceries to clients who live in our service area.  Our service area includes:  Atascadero, Creston, Santa Margarita, Templeton and California Valley.

We are open to clients from 1-3 PM Monday through Friday, and are open to accept donations of food from 8-11 AM Monday through Friday.

We depend on volunteers to help gather food from groceries in the area and to transport food from the Food Bank in San Luis Obispo.  We have our own van for food transport.  Volunteers help sort and shelf goods in the morning, and serve as receptionists, interviewers and baggers in the afternoon.

In addition we always welcome volunteers to our organizing efforts, data entry, board activities and newsletter writing and mailing.
