Alderpoint Food Pantry Lists Second-Friday Distribution at Volunteer Fire Hall: Confirm Start Time

ALDERPOINT, Humboldt County — November 2026. Humboldt County food bank Food for People lists a regularly scheduled food pantry distribution at the Alderpoint Volunteer Fire Hall on the second Friday of each month. For November 2026, the second Friday is November 13.

What time should visitors arrive?

Two pages belonging to the same organization show slightly different windows. The current Distribution Schedule lists 12:30–2:30 p.m. for Alderpoint; another Countywide Pantry Network page says 1–2:30 p.m.. Because the source pages conflict, anyone making a long rural trip should verify the start time with Food for People before leaving. Neither window should be guaranteed without confirmation.

Who operates this service?

Food for People is a Humboldt County nonprofit food bank operating a countywide network of distribution partners. It provides food assistance and information on related services. The Alderpoint fire hall is the listed distribution site, not proof that the fire company itself determines eligibility or controls supplies.

Questions and volunteer opportunities

The organization’s main office is at 307 W. 14th Street, Eureka, telephone (707) 445-3166. Food for People has a separate volunteer program and public information on food assistance. Residents should contact the organization about eligibility, needed documents, schedule changes and ways to help. This is a standing local-service notice, not an announcement that groceries are guaranteed to every visitor.
