Interfaith has a total of four food pantries, including public ones located in Escondido, Oceanside, and Carlsbad and a private one at Windsor Gardens senior living. A contribution from the Del Mar Solana Beach Rotary would support Continued Stock of a variety of foods at the pantry. This comes at a fortuitous time, where SNAP benefits are being reduced county wide, and the need is that an all-time high.
