Alameda Food Bank

As a first time customer @ this food pantry, the customer service received by volunteers and staff was truly impressive ! ☺️ Linda, who checked me in was friendly and kind! I'd like to give a special thanks to Richard ( the manager I believe ? ) Who went above and beyond to not only return my previous phone call but also greeted me once I arrived and explained how the Alameda food pantry worked as it's similar to a grocery store with shopping carts and you handpick the items you need depending on availability. Thanks to all volunteers and Richard , & MS.Patty! I most definitely will be back to shop again sometime soon ! 5 *'s for sure 😊

5 stars because of staff and the food but the public people just WOW! I don't know how people volunteer there. Rude customers need to be banned to ease the stress on these volunteers. Today for example one of the volunteers was stocking the fridge. Not one adult was patient and kept trying to go through the tapes. I had a baby in my arms and this rude lady was on top me so I yelled at her to give me space. Ridiculous that a baby had more patience than most of these adults. The stress level on the volunteers are probably through the roof. I wanted to volunteer but no thank. No rules at all for this kind of behavior.

Their very organized, no excessive long lines, and you can reserve a time to shop.. I always found some nice things in the refrigerated section..love the fruits and veggies

The food bsnk was nice and the staff were very helpful and coutresy but the only the food server only alameda Residents l feel it should server Oakland residents too we let everyone come Oaklsnd food bank in zhe Eastbay

It's actually a pretty good food bank, considering how food banks can be in other places.

They are lovely, you never know when hard times will come so I’m grateful these programs exist.

Provides essential service to the community Staff is very helpful and almost entirely volunteer. Process for donors and recipients is well organized and virtually contactless. If you are picking up, be sure to enter Alameda Point from the gate on Main Street and follow the left side of the mall where the line queues up. Bring your driver's license or state Identity card which is used to insure you are not picking up more than once per week.

Great for the community very kind volunteers.
