Help Me Help You — Grocery Grab N Go at Philadelphian SDA Church

At Philadelphian SDA Church in Long Beach, California, Help Me Help You distributes free groceries through Grocery Grab N Go. Individuals and families can collect food on foot or use the drive-through. This church is the pickup site; the organization’s Multi-Service Center office and mailing address serve different purposes.

You do not need advance registration, identification or proof-of-income documents. Sign in and answer a few questions when you arrive. Income self-declaration guidelines may still apply, so ask staff about the current rules for the food being distributed. A document-free pickup process is not the same as having no income eligibility criteria.

This branch distributes twice a month rather than every week. Other Grocery Grab N Go locations, including school sites, follow separate schedules. Grocery contents vary by distribution. The program also shares information about community resources; housing, employment and healthcare assistance each require their own access arrangements.

For additional benefit options, use NHREA’s federal assistance information alongside local grocery assistance.
