The Lord's Pantry

The Lord's Pantry, San Jose, California, is a Local Food Pantry serving East San Jose. It is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, emergency food program run entirely by volunteers, under the leadership of a paid director. 

Our mission is to feed the hungry and needy in our community; promote the good health and well-being of our clients; respect and protect our environment and to grow in our faith and love of the Lord.

Individuals are referred to us by nurses, teachers, ministers, etc. and the Second Harvest Food Bank’s ‘Food Connection Department. We support emergency and regular requests.

On a monthly basis, by referral only, we provide three to five days of groceries based on the size of the family.

Through our Homeless Closet we offer specific services to meet the needs of the local Homeless population. We also offer service for new mothers with Layettes (when available).

Serving an average of 7,700 individuals per month

During the Holiday Season we provide a Food Giveaway at Thanksgiving, and a Food and Gift Giveaway at Christmas.

Volunteers are always Appreciated
