What items does Adelante accept?
We welcome donations from your home pantry so long as the items have not passed their sell/use by date and the packaging is in good condition. Here’s a suggested list
We also accept clean, empty 12-egg cartons, homegrown produce and eggs so long as we know when they are arriving so we can keep them cool.
If you are shopping for donation items, go to the bottom of the page for suggestions.
We collect reusable grocery bags - both cloth or heavy duty reusable plastic.
We collect empty, clean one dozen egg cartons.
When and where can I drop off donations?
We try to be at the HUB every Friday from 9am-11:00 am. and Monday from 5-7pm. There might be weeks we can’t be there so contact us before going too far out of your way.
Donations can be dropped off at the Adelante HUB - 1335 Calle Bouganvilla 91360. We share the campus with Bridges Charter School. Look for the orange and white Food Share trailer. Contact us for alternate arrangements.
Citrus from your backyard trees is always welcome!
Contact us at adelanteconejofood@gmail.com if you would like to make arrangements for donation drop-offs at a time we are not scheduled to be at the HUB. We will work something out.
If the items you hope to donate are non-food, we can only accept certain items and quantities. Contact us and if it is not something we can accept, we will let you know if there is another non-profit in the Conejo Valley we know that might be interested.
If your school, club, or business would like to organize a collection, go to the donation drives page.
You can also contact us by email (AdelanteConejoFood@gmail.com) for other pick up or delivery options or to organize an activity for your business or club.
Food Donation List:
Suggested non-perishable items - These are items that are sought after by families that we can’t source in sufficient quantity from Food Share. We use your cash contributions to purchase perishables - milk, cheese, chicken, eggs, and corn tortillas - as funds allow. If you would like to donate to our food fund, click here
We partner with Food Forward, a wonderful produce focused organization who provide us with an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables. Many of the staple food items as well as essential pantry equipment comes from Food Share of Ventura County but the selection of items depends on what donations they receive or purchases they can afford. We appreciate the variety that your donations provide.
