FLAG (Front Line Appreciation Group) Central Valley was created by a local Registered Nurse who wanted to make sure fellow healthcare workers felt supported during the current pandemic, all while supporting our locally owned restaurants.

Believing in the dignity of every person, at Poverello House we work to enrich the lives and spirits of all who pass our way by stewarding the resources made available to us through Providential and community support.

As the largest nonprofit provider of basic human needs in Sacramento County, we take our mission one-step further by offering educational opportunities and family support services that allow people who seek support to shape their best tomorrow. We are a place for hope and prosperity, a place where women and men, children and elders, are offered the tools they may need—food, clothes, education, technology, or just plain kindess—as they move toward a path of financial independence and self-sufficiency.

By supplying free fresh produce, canned goods, and healthy frozen items, our food pantries provide valuable meal supplementation while helping those in need maintain their independence and dignity. These food pantries are especially crucial in “food deserts,” where entire communities experience food insecurity due to lack of grocery store access.
