Shop it like a grocery store
No pre-packed boxes. Commons is a choice pantry: you take a cart and pick what your family actually eats, from tomatoes to tortillas to formula.
- Open four days a week, two of them until 7 pm
- No ID and no proof of income
- English and Spanish on every shift
- Halal, vegetarian and baby shelves
What $25 puts on the shelf
Every gift is itemized like a till slip, so you see the bags of produce and the packs of diapers, not a vague “meals provided.” Whatever doesn’t buy food keeps the lights and the cold room on.
