Our Programs

Little Free Pantry Program
We have partnered City of Riverside and Inland Empire Health Plan to launch the Little Free Pantry program. Our team will be working with neighborhood groups, small businesses and non-profits to build 26 free community pantries across Riverside. We are inviting interested members to apply to host or volunteer for a Little Free Pantry and help fight food insecurity their community. Please email neighbor@riversideca.gov for more information + applications.

Vital Veggies Initiative
We have partnered with Riverside-based Overflow Farms to provide volunteer support and distribute farm-fresh produce to vulnerable communities. Thanks to volunteer efforts, we have been able to make farm-to-table eating a reality for communities with limited access to fresh produce. Please visit OverFlow Farms Instagram (@overflowfarms) for the latest farm volunteering schedule.

Riverside Mutual Aid volunteers have donated their time to perform virtual 'well-being' check-ins with elderly, sick and isolated Riversiders once a week on Wednesdays. We can connect with you by phone on Wednesdays between 12pm-3pm.
