Thank you to the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club for your generous $10,000 grant to complete our citrus grove! Oranges, lemons, and limes grown here will be shared with our neighbors at the Shepherd's Pantry.

Reliable access to food shouldn’t depend on school being in session. Free summer meal sites are now open across the county.

Collaboration at its finest! Doug Bogart and Susan Naslund made their third (and final) trip in the van to the Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center to pick up a huge donation of food for the Shepherd's Pantry. What IBNC could not use in their feeding program, we will pass along to our neighbors. There is enough for everyone! Thank you for sharing the abundance, John Jigen Griffin-Atil!

Just like mom used to make! In honor of Mother's Day, a food drive at our sister campus, Foothills United Methodist Church, provided us with a cart full of baking items to distribute in the Shepherd's Pantry! Chocolate chip cookies? Cake? Brownies? What is the favorite sweet your mother made for you?

Here is Shepherd's Pantry Manager, Chris, amid an incredible amount of produce we had to offer our guests on Saturday morning. This is evidence that there is not a food acquisition problem in our county, but a food distribution problem. We were thrilled to welcome 412 households who received a bounty of fresh fruit, vegetables, bread, milk and eggs!

It is time to vote! The Envirotokens program at Lazy Acres Natural Market rewards customers who make the sustainable choice to reuse bags and keep single-use items out of local landfills. When customers shop at Lazy Acres and bring their own reusable bags, the store gives a 10¢ Envirotoken per bag. The customer then pays it forward to one of six local nonprofits that are hand-selected doing important work in our area, with a focus in K-12 education efforts, hunger relief and environmental stewardship. Please take a minute and use this link to vote for the Good Shepherd Ministry Center:

Lazy Acres focuses on our mission of supporting the communities that we operate in through our Envirotokens program.

April is Earth Month and the Shepherd's Pantry has switched to using paper bags for packing nutritious food for guests who use our drive-through option on Saturday mornings. We are grateful for any large (new or used) paper bags you can donate to both keep down pantry operating costs and help the environment. Thank you!
