Partner Spotlight: Bear Pantry 

Khaldoun Allatayfeh has been a Bear Pantry client, volunteer, and then worker in Bear Pantry’s community garden. “The Food Bank has saved us,” he said. “My wife is a Berkeley graduate student, and we have a four-year-old kid. Sometimes all of the food on our table is from the pantry.”

Bear Pantry, a Food Bank partner organization, is a model in the food justice and sustainability movement. Housed in University Village on the U.C. Berkeley campus, the pantry serves about 1,000 students and university service workers. In addition to distributing food from the Food Bank and ACCFB’s food recovery program, the pantry also distributes produce from its own community garden down the road.

“The garden gathers us. We breathe, get a chance to farm, come with the kids, and enjoy. A lot of the people we’ve met, we’ve met here at the pantry,” said Khaldoun.
