Mama's Pantry

Mama’s Pantry is designed to meet the needs of HIV/AIDS clients who do not need meal deliveries, but can benefit from occasional nutrition support to maintain their health and stretch their food budget.

The service is available to those whose income does not exceed $1,400 per month. Once a month clients can visit Mama’s Pantry, 3960 Home Avenue, San Diego, 92105 and select their own non-perishable items such as cereals, pastas and canned goods from a wide selection. A limited number of perishable items, fresh fruit and bread, are also available.

The Pantry is open from 10am to 4pm Monday through Friday. It is closed on Federal Holidays.

A referral is not needed to receive services at the Pantry, but you must meet the following eligibility qualifications:

1) Provide written proof of being HIV positive or having AIDS
2) Provide written proof of income
3) Provide written proof of residency in San Diego County

For further information concerning our programs, or to understand how to qualify for services, please contact our Client Services team at 619.233.6262, or email them at clientservices@mamaskitchen.org.

Since our first day of operations, we have never turned away anyone qualified for our services and we are determined that we never will.
