I used to volunteer at this NHIFP for almost a year back in 2017-and 2018. Due to certain…read morecircumstances, I didn't want to be part of their volunteer program. They moved few doors down. That is not the reason why. Living literally 5 minutes away from this food bank, (walking distance), I still wanted to be some sort of help to them and help the homeless community and feed the hungry people that are practically everywhere. They have couple of entrances adjacent to eachother and are affiliated with the church next door. With that being said, I packed up a bag of goodies and walked over there at 8:15AM on 7/27/26. They are only open on Mondays and Fridays. (Please update your hours on Yelp so you don't confuse people). Some volunteer workers really go out of their way to help people, and a few others will give you a blank, confused, and lost stare that makes you feel very small, like Daniel the other day. On the bright side, Barbra and the director of this food bank named Sloan were helpful, kind, positive, softspoken and knowledgeable. Anyway, packed my bag with: 2 boxes of Rice-a-Roni Pasta, 2 cans of Progresso Chicken Noodle soup, 1 box of family size Kellogs Berry cereal, variety of Oatmeals, 4 Toto Cookies. Some other types of canned food, 2 boxes of Macaroni & Cheese, 1 bag of Plain Bagels, (count of 6), one big box of Macadamia Nut cookies, and a single, small, lonely chips. This is NOT my first time donating food to them. I have seen a few perishable and non-perishable items/products with expired dates on them. That is UNACCEPTABLE!! They wouldn't eat it, so why give it to someone else?? This pantry is only donations for food/beverages. Nothing else. They also get food from our local supermarkets such as Ralphs, Vons, Trader Joe's, and Sprouts. Before they open, there is a long line outside to pick up a bag or two. Overall, it's not a bad place, but few volunteers need to go that extra mile, put a genuine/sincere smile on their faces and pretend not to be SO pretentious.. The value of the food is what you make it to be!

WARNING!!! DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE WITH YOUR MAIL!!!…read moreTHEFT!!! I've been homeless on the streets for two years because I was dumb enough to trust that Barbara would be honest enough to give me my mail. My social security pay card was sent here, and Barbara lied straight to my face saying she hadn't received it while it sat in her desk drawer. Meanwhile, i sat outside *suffering*. I'm guessing she was waiting for the pin to arrive so she could spend my money. Fortunately, they knew something was wrong when the card wasn't activated because she didn't have access to the information necessary to activate it. She sure tried "getting to know us" awfully well for someone who was lying to us the whole time. They solicit "donations" in their piggy bank for food distributions and give you crap of you can't pay. The food they give out is often expired. The place needs to be shut down and Barbara would be in jail for attempted identity theft.

On 4th of July weekend they gave me some great coffee additionally to the usual. They give some type of meat frozen or fresh, and a bag of pantry goods, a bag of veggies for cooking a soup perhaps, and bread, something sweet, and fruits. Sometimes you get something additionally, today I got a plant. These people do not judge you and I knew them when I was homeless and suffering horribly living in my car for a year and a half, and I know them still now that I am better off and housed. They feed me every time I drive up. There are new cars in the food line and mine is probably the worst looking in the food line, but we all get food to save us money. Thank you forever!

I walked through the office to a door that led to the warehouse and saw a person out there through the window. Not wanting to make trouble by entering what was probably a restricted area (and now thinking donations might be received at the loading dock), I walked around the building to the dock. When I got in there, I didn't see anybody. I walked around the entire facility, even reentering the office area, but saw no-one. I called "Hello?" loudly in the warehouse area and the office area, but nobody responded. I went back to my car, got the box of lemons and left it on the front desk. I hope it goes to some people who need it. This is a sharp contrast with the MEND food bank nearby, which fell all over themselves to take my fruit tree donations.

The hardest thing for me not many can guide you or inform you the people to take you to temporary housing and then permanent housing.
