About

Templo Evangelico Maranatha Food Pantry in Chula Vista distributes shelf-stable groceries and emergency provisions from a faith-based distribution center on E Street near the Broadway corridor. Incorporated in 1993 as a California Nonprofit Religious Corporation under document number 1842478, the pantry channels hunger relief through bilingual intake alongside broader safety-net partners that include South Bay Community Services. Residents in the 91910 and 91911 ZIP codes access pre-assembled grocery bags through an appointment-based queuing system, with dedicated collection schedules serving western Chula Vista households. The program accepts monetary and non-perishable food donations year-round, supplementing the same South Bay hunger-relief corridor that connects faith-based distributors including Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. Each distribution cycle processes numbered queue tickets before releasing pre-assembled bags containing canned proteins, dry grains, and shelf-stable staples portioned for individual household pickup.
