About

The Serra Mesa Food Pantry is an emergency food pantry run by volunteers. It is on the grounds of Mission Village Christian Fellowship, 2650 Melbourne Drive. It opened in May 2010 with support from three local churches.

The pantry serves residents of ZIP code 92123 who are dealing with illness, job loss or another short-term hardship. Proof of residence is the only requirement.

Volunteers hand out food at a drive-through on Wednesday mornings. The food comes from the San Diego Food Bank and Feeding San Diego, bakery donations, neighborhood food drives, and the community garden and orchard next door. In 2023 and 2024, the pantry reported serving more than 120 families a week.
