Groceries that go where they are needed most.

Masala Pantry works with customers, donors, organizations and community groups to prepare the grocery portion of sponsored food orders for individuals and families in need. You bring the plan and the budget; our team builds the list, packs the boxes and has them ready on time.

  • Staples families actually cook with: rice, atta, daal, oil, tea and more
  • Boxes built around your budget, family size and dates
  • Pickup from our Richmond or Spring store at a time that suits you
