Need food this holiday season? Use the Food Bank’s Pantry Locator to find free groceries near you in LA County in just a few clicks.
The holidays are meant to be a time of warmth, gathering, and gratitude. But for many neighbors across Los Angeles County, they can also bring added pressure: higher grocery bills, tighter budgets, and the stress of making a holiday table work.
The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank is here for every neighbor who needs a helping hand, this season and all year long. If you or someone you know needs food assistance, learn how to find the nearest Food Bank partner agency.
How to Find Food Using the Food Bank’s Pantry Locator
The Food Bank’s Pantry Locator is a free online tool that connects you with our network of more than 600 partner agencies across LA County, from Long Beach to the Antelope Valley. Those partners include food pantries, community centers, shelters, and faith-based organizations, and they offer free groceries, fresh produce, and household essentials.
Because LA County is so large, the closest food resource can make a big difference. A pantry just around the corner saves time, gas money, and stress, especially during the busy holiday season.
To use the Food Bank’s Pantry Locator, simply follow the following steps:
- Visit our Pantry Locator. No account or sign-up is needed.
- Enter your address or ZIP code, and it will show you food pantries available in your area.
- Choose the option that works best for you. Each listing includes details such as hours and directions, so you can choose the location and distribution time that fit your schedule.
Pantries may adjust their hours around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. It is highly recommended to call the partner agency ahead to confirm distribution days and times.
Everyone deserves a seat at the table this holiday season. If you’re able, consider making an impact in the lives of your neighbors by donating, volunteering, or organizing a Team WeFeedLA fundraiser with your workplace, school, or community group. Every gift helps a neighbor in need.
