Pantry is No Longer Accepting Funds, but Will Accept Food and Bags Until late January

Berkeley Food Pantry to Cease Operations after January 31, 2026

We are sad to share the news that the Berkeley Food Pantry’s last day of distributing groceries at the Berkeley Friends Church is January 30, 2026. It has been our privilege to serve the Berkeley and Albany communities for more than 50 years, and we regret that we are unable to continue. More information is available here.

So, at this time, the Food Pantry is no longer accepting cash donations, stock donations, planned giving, or gifts of vehicles.

If anyone would like to donate food or bags, please mail a check or bring the bags to the Pantry itself.

For your reference, the Food Pantry continues to operate under the 501(c)(3) status of the Berkeley Friends Church (EIN 94-6003752), and your past donations will continue to be tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
