Our Mission
The mission of the SSIP Food Closet is to maintain and operate an emergency food distribution program to help alleviate food insecurity for Sacramento area residents. Partner faith-based organizations, with assistance from local businesses and other community members, provide the support and resources for the Food Closet’s mission.
The South Sacramento Interfaith Partnership (SSIP) Food Closet was established in 1969 to serve families and individuals in the South Sacramento area facing food insecurities. We have been successful in feeding an average of 17,000 people a month through the direct support of seven interfaith partnership congregations, the help of our staff and many volunteers, as well as the support of Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services. We are also supported by our five grocery store partners and Table Farm.
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, accepting donations via check, cash and online.
