SACRAMENTO – On June 23, Assemblymember Marie Waldron announced that the Fallbrook Food Pantry has been selected as the 75th Assembly District's
2021 Nonprofit of the Year.
The Fallbrook Food Pantry has served low-income and disadvantaged families in
Fallbrook and its surrounding communities since 1991. The pantry is open to the
community five days a week, and offers a well-balanced selection of food. Its goal
is not only to help provision but also to ensure wellness for every individual in the
greater Fallbrook area.
On average, the pantry supports 25,000 household visits annually, distributing
nearly 1,000,000 pounds of food to those in need. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Fallbrook Food Pantry stepped up to keep its doors open and played a big role in meeting the nutrition needs of struggling families in our community.
Each year, CalNonprofits, a statewide organization bringing nonprofits together to
advocate for their communities, and joins State Assemblymembers and Senators to
recognize and encourage the vital contributions of nonprofits to the people of
California.
