Neighborhood Grocery Gift Cards

The Neighborhood grocery gift cards are a type of food aid and local currency exchangeable for groceries at our market. Gift cards are purchased by Skid Row People’s Market supporters and partners and distributed by local community based organizations (like Chrysalis, My Friend’s House, Polo’s Pantry and J-Town Action & Solidarity) to extremely low-income and unhoused Skid Row residents and community members. This program increases the circulation of capital in our local economy along with purchasing power, while strengthening self and collective agency.

“Recipients are able to get food they not only need by food this way… if you’ve ever been food insecure, you’ll know that what little food assistance you get doesn’t get you through the month. Especially on the streets where there’s no way to store or cook fresh food.”
