How to Efficiently Find Free Food Near You

How to Efficiently Find Free Food Near You

Beat the heat and learn how to find free food near you this summer using the Food Bank’s Pantry Locator.

When temperatures climb across Los Angeles County, the last thing anyone wants to do is stand in a long line under the sun. The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank’s Pantry Locator makes it easy to find free food near you, and with one extra step, you can skip the guesswork and the heat.

Using the Food Bank’s Pantry Locator and Beating the Heat

The Food Bank’s Pantry Locator connects you with our network of more than 600 partner agencies across LA County, from Long Beach to the Antelope Valley, all offering free groceries, produce, and household essentials. Just enter your zip code, and you’ll see a list or map of nearby locations, along with hours, contact information, and services offered.

However, distribution dates and times can shift, a site might run early, adjust hours because of the heat, or reschedule for the week. A quick phone call confirms the exact distribution time and whether it’s walk-up, drive-through, or both. 

If you need additional assistance finding food near you, please contact 211. A young girl beams while holding a piece of food, beside a search bar with an arrow pointing to "Find Food." The image graces the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank website, urging donations and volunteerism.

No One Should Go Hungry in LA County

Supporting neighbors during difficult times is essential to building a stronger community. By contributing to the Food Bank, you help ensure that individuals and families across LA County have access to the food and hope they need.

Consider making a donation today to help fight hunger.
