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
Last six digits of your Social Security Number
Number of adults & number of children in household
If you want a propane voucher, please notify the volunteer. (Clothing vouchers are not available at this time.)
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!
