Food pantry
At La Jornada, we are dedicated to providing a food pantry service to support migrants in times of need. We understand the challenges they face when adapting to a new community and want to ensure they have access to nutritious and quality food.
Our commitment goes beyond just providing food; we strive to offer a variety of options that meet the dietary and cultural needs of each individual. From staples such as rice, beans, and pasta to fresh and healthy products, we work to ensure that every family has what they need to eat properly.
All of this is also made possible thanks to the collaboration of Sharing Excess, Food Bank, and City Harvest, who assist us with food donations.
