South County Outreach Food Program clients represent all walks of life, every age, and every ethnicity. Our Irvine and Laguna Niguel Food Markets provide families with the nourishing ingredients and staples — like milk, butter, eggs, protein, and fresh produce — needed to make full meals, lunches, and snacks. When you visit our Food Market, you control the cart and what goes in it, just like in your local grocery store. This way, you can best accommodate your family’s tastes, dietary restrictions, and nutritional needs. Clients are able to visit the Food Market once a month.

      • Minors: Birth certificate, Medical Card, Social Security Card, Passport, OR State ID
