Every month, we are providing food for thousands of community members— ensuring that no one goes away hungry. Support your community by signing up to volunteer for the West Valley Food Pantry. We have opportunities for both individuals and groups. To get started, please fill out the application below.
While we receive immense support from our grocery partners every day, we can’t always predict what we receive. Between 2019 and 2022 there was an 86% increase in the number of families we served, but only a 15% increase in the number of donations we received. By donating, you are helping us fill this gap.
We accept food donation drop offs Monday -Thursday between 9:30am and 11:30am. If these hours do not work out for you, we can schedule another time frame depending on the size of the donation. To schedule a donation drop off, please reach out to pantryadmin@westvalleyfoodpantry.org, and share what you have to donate, and what days and time frames work best.

In 2022, nearly 24% of households in LA County were experiencing food insecurity, a massive increase from the 16.6% in 2021. Food insecurity is on the rise, and when we see an increased need in our community, we join forces and get to work. Donate today to help provide life-saving nutrition for your community.
