A new food pantry located at Moraga Valley Presbyterian Church opened in November and is available to anyone in the community feeling the need to stretch their dollars a bit. At the culmination of such a trying year, Renie Gannett, one of the church staff, felt there might be a need for this type of service in Lamorinda and began to gather food. The generosity of church and community members has been overwhelming. There is a large selection of staples each week to satisfy from dawn to dusk - cereals, power bars, canned goods, baking mixes, soups, pasta, and everything in between. The MVPC Food Pantry is a "U-Pick" format, allowing people to select what is best for them and their family. It is an essential service open from 5 to 6:30 p.m. every Wednesday evening in Rooms 201-202 at MVPC off the lower courtyard. Masks and social distancing protocols are in effect.
