By bridging gaps in food equity, Comida Buena is more than a meal—it’s a movement.

Comida Buena

Comida Buena (Good Food) provides free, high-quality, fresh, and nutrient-rich food to our community. We take a holistic approach, integrating health screenings and culturally relevant food options to support overall well-being.

Weekly Distributions

Each week, 100 families receive 20 pounds of fresh produce, eggs, and beans—nutrient-dense foods that aren’t available through other local programs.

Fostering Connection

A remarkable 60% of our volunteers are also participants, creating a space of mutual support and empowerment.

  • “It has helped me cover some expenses that without this help I would not be able to pay. I thank you for all the help you give me. It is of great help and benefit to my family.”
