These are the top food banks in the San Fernando Valley.

Whether you’re seeking assistance or hoping to give back, the Valley is home to several incredible organizations helping local families put food on the table.

One in four people in Los Angeles County experiences food insecurity.

If you’re donating, consider bringing:

  • 🥜 Peanut butter - High protein, shelf-stable, and filling

  • 🐟 Canned proteins - Tuna, chicken, beans, and other canned meats

  • 🥫 Canned fruits and vegetables - Preferably in juice or water rather than syrup

  • 🥣 Whole grain cereals - Including oatmeal and other breakfast items

  • 🍝 Pasta and rice - Basic staples that stretch meals

  • 🍲 Canned soups and stews - Ready-to-eat meals

  • 🥛 Shelf-stable milk - Boxed or powdered milk

  • 🫗 Cooking oil - Essential for meal preparation

  • 🍼 Baby food and formula - Always in high demand

  • 🧼 Personal hygiene items - Soap, toothpaste, toilet paper (though not food, often accepted)
