Downtown Food Closet of Palo Alto

The Downtown Food Closet of Palo Alto, operated by Downtown Streets Team, is a free food pantry providing essential groceries to low-income and unhoused community members in the Palo Alto area. Founded in 1976 by local churches, the food closet is housed at All Saints Episcopal Church and distributes approximately 880 pounds of food weekly to over 200 residents in need. The organization relies on community volunteers and donations to support its mission of ensuring food security for vulnerable populations in Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and East Palo Alto.
