About Us
Our Mission
The SCV Food Pantry is a non profit organization dedicated to alleviating hunger throughout the Santa Clarita Valley. Our goal is to meet the current and future hunger needs of our neighbors and to ensure self-sufficiency through active partnerships with other organizations within our community. We serve families and individuals who are living in uncertainty, seeking assistance and looking for a better life.
How We Began
What began as the Santa Clarita Valley Hunger Coalition in the early 1980s became the Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry in 1986. Established as a 501(c) 3 non-profit corporation, the SCV Food Pantry began operating out of the back of a local church. In 1992 the Food Pantry rented the current facility on Railroad Avenue and in 2002 the facility was purchased with bank financing. By 2006 the facility was owned without debt and the increasing demand for services prompted the Food Pantry to begin mobile outreach to Seniors and currently offers food assistance at 8 remote sites.
