Food Pantry
The number of food insecure families and individuals in Ventura County is growing. We are combating hunger at the Moorpark Pantry Plus food pantry. Every Monday thru Saturday we offer nutritious food to families and individuals in need or a sack lunch for those in need of a single meal. Providing nourishment education to those most in need is an essential component to our food pantry operation, as well.

Back to School Shoe Program
|
Children who live in poverty are significantly more at-risk of under performing academically. We do our part to help students along the way of academic success by providing a fresh pair of shoes at the beginning of the school year. There's a catch.. Students must maintain a B average on their report card to be eligible for a pair of shoes. We help show students that academic success is attainable for everyone. Contact us below to learn how you or your child can receive a new pair of shoes in the Summer of 2020.

Birthday and Holiday Programs
We all know that special events throughout the year place a significant financial strain on many families, especially those who already live in poverty. The joy of sharing a meal with your family during the holidays or providing your child with a gift they will love on their birthday should be enjoyed by all. Every year, Moorpark Pantry Plus offers families a Thanksgiving meal and a Christmas gift give-away every year. If you or your child has a birthday, bring a legitimate form of ID during the birthday week to receive a gift.
A Moorpark Christmas Miracle
Every year, the Moorpark Pantry Plus hosts a Christmas Gift program providing hundreds of families and children with Christmas gifts and festive activities. Many organizations, churches, and individuals in the Moorpark community join together in spreading Christmas joy at this event, and this year the people of Moorpark created a 'Christmas miracle'.
With only one day remaining before the big day, Program Coordinator, Patricia Calderon, received devastating news that nearly all of the toys she anticipated having would not be delivered in time for the event. Hundreds of parents would not be able to provide their children with Christmas this year. Or so it seemed.
Patricia quickly began making phone calls to the Friends of Moorpark, local agencies and organizations, including the Moorpark Police Department, and many benefactors to the Pantry Plus. The entire community rose to the occasion and in less than 24 hours enough toys and gifts had been donated to meet the need of this year and next!
"It was a clear example of the Providence of God and the goodwill of the people in the Moorpark community... Gifts were coming in by the truckloads and my phone was ringing all day with people asking what they could bring," says Patricia, reflecting on the event.
On behalf of Catholic Charities of Ventura County, the Moorpark Pantry Plus staff, volunteers, and clients, we say thank you to all who helped create a Moorpark 'Christmas miracle'.
