Pantry Donations

Supported by donations from local businesses, as well as charitable individuals and organizations, BTAC is able to provide food and other necessary goods to our less fortunate neighbors.  A big shout-out to Costco, Grocery Outlet, Pavilion’s and Trader Joe’s for their amazingly generous donations to BTAC! 

Donations to BTAC can be made at the rear entrance of the building on non-holiday weekdays between 8am and 3pm. Ring the doorbell and a volunteer will come to the door to assist you.  BTAC is only permitted to accept contributions of commercially prepared, unopened food.

For significant contributions of food and/or personal hygiene supplies from retail/wholesale establishments, we can make arrangements for pick-up. Please contact Facility/Pantry Manager Edward Stapleton at estapleton@theBTAC.org or (818) 848-2822, extension #1007.

We’re often asked what supplies are most needed.  The best way to answer that is to think about what you provide for your family.  What ends up on your dinner table?  What items do you keep in your kitchen?  Generally speaking, we don’t need ramen noodles (we get plenty of those) or specialty food items.  Here are some ideas:
