      Grocery Distributions

      Purpose Statement

      Giving People hope, purpose, and food.

      How to Serve

      FOOD PANTRY

      One hour served in the food pantry feeds a family for a week!

      If you would like to share your time at one of our Saddleback Food Pantry locations, please select the location in the pulldown and either click the “Volunteer” button or send an email to foodpantry@saddleback.com

      FOOD PANTRY DISTRIBUTION CENTER (WAREHOUSE)

      This is where we sort, date-check and prepare food for distribution to our Regional Food Pantries. Our volunteer shift is from 9am until noon on Saturday. We welcome those age 8 and older. Those age 8 to 12 must come with a parent. This is a great small group or “first step” serving opportunity, please email carlos@saddleback.com to schedule an appointment.

      FOOD RESCUE DRIVERS

      We need drivers to pick up hundreds of food rescues from local stores each month and deliver them to the Food Pantry Distribution Center. For our larger grocery store pickups, we may train you to drive our Food Pantry trucks (no special license is required). Pickups are scheduled mornings Monday through Saturday. Please contact nateh@saddleback.com.

      How to Donate

      If you would like to donate non-perishable food, you may do so by putting it in the Food Pantry bins on your campus. Or you may bring it to the bins available in the Central Lot of the Lake Forest campus 24/7.
