Best food bank in north San Fernando Valley?

June 6, 2011 4:15 PM

Any suggestions for a good food bank or food pantry in the north or west San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles? We're going to see lots of grapefruit and avocado from our trees this year, and I'd like to donate it to needy folks. Google is not a big help.

Perhaps you were searching the wrong way? This google maps link appears to be what you want. Or do I have the wrong valley?

I think fallenfruit.org might be something you can connect with -- but their website is down right now.

Alternately, you could look for a soup kitchen or other organization that makes food for the hungry.

Have you looked into Feeding America? Formely Second Harvest.

Best answer: Not exactly the same, but http://foodforward.org/ food forward will pick your extra produce & take it to food banks in LA County- one less step for you.
