Neighbors’ Stories

  • “For those three months, we only ate what we received from the food locker. It was so helpful, so amazing. I was crying the first day because it was like a miracle.”

    Nadia, Rancho Cordova

  • “If it wasn't for programs like this, guys like me would starve. When I come to the food closet, I feel like a human being again for a minute. It's the best part of my day.”

    Michael, Citrus Heights

  • “We come roughly once a week or every other week. We're always hoping to get fresh fruits and vegetables because that's generally what I feed her throughout the week. The support really does help.”

    Zoe, Rancho Cordova
