September is Hunger Action Month – Support the Hillcrest Church Food Pantry

Hillcrest Church is one of 260 local Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano partner agencies to help address food insecurity in our community. Nearly half of the food distributed through the Food Bank is through partner agencies, which include soup kitchens, church pantries, transitional housing services and child-care centers.

Many Hillcrest members and friends don’t realize that Hillcrest Church must purchase the food we distribute in our Food Pantry from the Food Bank and through grocery stores.  From January – August 2024, Hillcrest Church has provided food to 1,150 households (3,782 individuals in total) and spent nearly $18,000 to  food to buy food to stock the Food Pantry!

If you would like to support the Hillcrest Church Food Pantry, please mail a check to Hillcrest Church, 404 Gregory Lane, Pleasant Hill, CA 94523 and note, “Food Pantry” on the Memo line.
