“We are grateful to be back serving our neighbors in need,” said Taban. “Our commitment to this community has never wavered. We appreciate the patience and continued support from our community, volunteers and donors as we work through this transition period.”

The Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry has been serving the SCV community for over 40 years, providing approximately 10,000 clients with food per month. The organization remains committed to transparency and to serving the SCV community for many years to come.
