Community Pantry in Hollister is a non-profit, self help supplemental food program for low income families in San Benito County. They also help those families who have come upon hard times and simply need a temporary bridge. Community Pantry serves over 1,700 bags of food weekly to more than 4,000 people. They accomplish this through support from community donations, grants and volunteers.

St.Joseph's Family Center has been the primary resource for families and individuals in South Santa Clara County in need of urgent assistance for over 30 years. St Joseph's is a collaborative of individuals, businesses, and churches working together to provide a central location for people to come to when in a crisis or emergency situation.
