SAN DIEGO -- While the summer months are typically a difficult time for food pantries that rely on donations from the community to serve their clients, Mama's Kitchen is hoping that San Diegans will consider donating to its pantry program this July while celebrating special events like the Fourth of July and LGBT pride.

Mama's Pantry, which is a service of Mama's Kitchen, provides a nutritional shopping opportunity at no cost for men, women and children of San Diego County affected by HIV/AIDS.
