Food Pantry prepares for Christmas with Adopt-a-Family program

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Fallbrook, wouldn’t you say? The lights in the town square, the decorated Christmas trees in front of the Art Center, smiles on the faces of people you meet. And, it’s a very busy time at the Fallbrook Food Pantry! Clients are beginning to think about how they will provide Christmas cheer for their families. That Christmas joy can turn to worry when the total income to provide for your family is at or below the national poverty level.

That’s why we invite YOU to lend a helping hand at this special time. We are looking for groups or individuals who have sufficient resources and are willing to share with the less fortunate in our community. We would like to pair you up with a family in need and ask that you provide the ingredients for a holiday meal as well as a gift for each child, or member, of the family.

It’s so easy to do! Just call the Fallbrook Food Pantry at (760) 728-7608 and tell us you want to adopt a family for Christmas. We will provide you with all the information you need to make Christmas a joyous time for a family in need here in Fallbrook.
