Grocery Distributions

Grocery Distribution Volunteer

One hour served in the grocery distribution feeds a family for a week! If you would like to share your time at one of our Saddleback Grocery Distribution locations, please click here or send an email to the Grocery Distribution.

Grocery Distribution Center (Warehouse)

This is where we sort, date-check and pack food for distribution to our Regional Food Pantries, as well as prepare supplies for every grocery distribution event. Our volunteer shifts are Monday through Saturday. We welcome those age 8 and older. Those age 8 to 12 must come with a parent. This is a great way for a small group to serve together. Please email Carlo Seijo for more information on serving opportunities.

Food Rescue Drivers

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

How to Donate

If you would like to donate non-perishable food, you may do so by putting it in the Grocery Distribution bins on your campus. Or you may bring it to the bins available in the PEACE Community Resource Center parking lot of the Lake Forest campus 24/7.To give financially to support grocery distribution in our community here in Southern California, click here, and if you'd like to give to support the Santa Rosa, Philippines food pantry, click here (please indicate "Food Pantry" in notes).
