A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for our 2026 Grease Gala.
In the past 5 years we've averaged $150,000-$185,000 at our Gala fundraisers, and we set our target there. Due to economic strain, small turnout, and donor hesitation, this year only brought in $67,000.
While nights like these always come with big goals, what stayed with us most was the true support, time together, and care shared throughout the evening. We are thankful for every person who came, gave, helped, stood beside us, or simply took the time to believe in what we do.
The work we do here at the Fallbrook Food Pantry is less about one perfect night, and more about growing a circle of people who care and are willing to walk alongside us. This gathering reminded us that those people are here, and that kind support means more than we can say. Your kindness and trust in our work will help us keep making a real difference in the lives of those we serve, and to keep bringing healthy food and other needed items to people in our town of Fallbrook who need them most.
We’re thankful for the steps forward, the bonds made, and the chance to keep going together. Thank you for being part of our story. We will continue, ever forward, towards the goal of ending food insecurity in our area.
