Need Help with Food?
What You’ll Receive
Each week, families receive a variety of perishable and nonperishable foods, with a focus on nutritious and filling options. Monument Crisis Center provides an assortment of staple and shelf-stable ingredients, including grains, proteins, beans, and canned goods such as vegetables, fruits, and soups.
When available, we also offer fresh items like fruits, vegetables, dairy products, meat, and frozen foods to help support balanced, healthy meals at home.
All items are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.

East County Food Distribution
When: Select Thursdays
In addition to our weekly Food Distribution, families in East County can access a Special Food Distribution in Pittsburg at Community Presbyterian Church.
This off-site, afternoon distribution began as a pilot program to support those who cannot easily reach our Concord location and has since grown into a bi-monthly service that expands access to free groceries in East County.
To register, bring a photo ID and complete a short intake form. Current Monument Crisis Center clients may present their MCC card.

In addition to our weekly Food Distribution program, individuals age 55 and older or households with members age 55 and older, are eligible to participate in our Senior Food Distribution program, which provides additional groceries throughout the year.
