Perris Food Pantry Support
Bridging food access gaps for 80,000 residents in southern Riverside County.
Foundation-administered support with verification standards and privacy-aware reporting.
Part ofFood Security & Pantry Support
Perris is growing fast — food resources need to grow with it.
Perris has seen rapid population growth over the past decade, but grocery infrastructure and food support services haven't always kept pace. Located in southern Riverside County near March Air Reserve Base, the city includes families who drive significant distances for affordable groceries and communities where food bank access isn't always convenient. This program works with local pantry partners and food organizations to bring consistent, verified food support directly to Perris neighborhoods.

This community program operates under the Foundation's Food Security & Pantry Support pillar with the same verification standards, vendor-paid delivery, and transparent reporting as every AOK program. All support is Foundation-administered with full discretion over allocation and is subject to program capacity and verified need.
