Carmichael Food Closet

When you drive or walk up to the Food Closet, you will be asked for a photo ID. Volunteers will bring groceries to you and place them in your vehicle or cart.

The Carmichael Presbyterian Church
Parking Lot will be
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
March 30-August 1, 2026.
The Food Closet will still be open; however, guests in CARS will need to enter from FAIR OAKS BLVD, next to the Furniture Store. Drive straight past the store and to the right of the former 99-Cent Store building to the cyclone fence.
The gate will open at 1:00 p.m. Please DO NOT arrive before 1:00 p.m., and DO NOT form a line in front of the gate.
If you arrive before 1:00 p.m., you will be asked to leave and come back after 1:00 p.m.
The process for WALKUP guests will remain the same, and our hours of operation will remain the same.
Thank you for your patience as we fix our parking lot.
