During the Covid-19 pandemic, Atascadero Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry continues to provide groceries.  As changes to our procedures occur, they will be posted here.  Please email contact@atascaderoloaves.org if you have questions.  Thank you.
ALF PROCEDURAL CHANGES
  • Mon., March 16, 2020:  Clients should NOT bring reusable bags; ALF will provide bags and/or boxes.
  • Mon., Mar. 23, 2020:  Clients will no longer come into the ALF building, but are asked to make a line outside the east Lobby door (assuring 6’ between clients, for both privacy and safety reasons).  You will be asked for:
    Name
           City of Residence
           Last four digits of your Social Security Number
           Number of adults & number of children in household & dates of birth
                 [All info will be kept confidential]
         
           If you are also collecting food for a friend, you will need to provide their info as described above.
           Within a few minutes (6 minutes is the average time!), your name will be called and the pre-packed box of food will
            be available for pickup from the west Pantry door.  Volunteers cannot carry groceries to your car.
  •  Fri., Mar. 27, 2020:  Unfortunately, until further notice, we can no longer accept donations of any kind--except monetary (see "Donate" button above).
  • Mon., Apr. 6, 2020:  All of our volunteers are now wearing masks!
  • Mon., Aug. 3, 2020:  Clients are now required to wear masks.  If you are unable to do so, you may call 805-461-1504 from your car in the parking lot and your order will be pushed out the pantry door on a cart.  (For safety reasons, this will be done when there are no other clients waiting in line.)

Hello!

We're glad you've found our site.  We are Atascadero Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry (also known as "ALF"), a food pantry distributing groceries and other household items essential to those in need in our community.  Our clients must be located in Atascadero, Templeton, Santa Margarita, Creston, or California Valley.

If you are struggling to provide food for yourself or your family, please visit us at 5411 El Camino Real, Atascadero, California.  We are open weekdays (closed holidays--see our calendar for specifics) from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.  If you'd like more information before your first visit, feel free to call or email us at contact@atascaderoloaves.org--but you can also just drop by during our center hours.

In addition to groceries, we can also provide vouchers for propane (clients must provide their own 5-gallon tanks), adult interview clothing, and children's clothing.
