Building Community, Inspiring Change
Una Vida is a grassroots community organization serving people in Petaluma, California and beyond. Join Una Vida’s mission to build community, share resources, and lovingly serve others.
Feeding the Community
Una Vida fights hunger while reducing food waste by hosting free food distributions. The food we serve is provided by Redwood Empire Food Bank and generously donated by local grocers, farms, individuals, and other businesses.
Current Distributions:
Every Saturday starting at 11:00 a.m. until all the food is gone.
Every Wednesday from 4:00 p.m. until 5:30 p.m.
Clothing the Community
Our Community Closet welcomes people to shop at no cost in our boutique-style clothing store.
Clothes and shoes are available in all sizes, from babies to adults. We also carry children’s books. Come and check us out!
We gratefully accept donations during our open hours. Learn more by clicking here.
We are open Thursdays and Saturdays from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Growing for the Community
Use your green thumb to make a difference!
We are fortunate to partner with the Deviled Eggery Community Garden Network, a group of generous gardeners who grow and donate fresh produce for our food distributions, helping reduce food waste and fight hunger.

The Una Vida team strives to provide quality items- from fresh produce , meat, and diapers. Not only do they provide these essentials to our community, but they offer a multitude of ways to get involved & give back. From high school students to retirees, the volunteers of Una Vida range in age, demographic, and abilities. There is room at Una Vida for everyone.” -Sara Caudill
“Una Vida has been a treasure of my community for decades, and I am honored to witness the kind of impact that it makes. Their food distributions keep growing and have a ton of awesome and locally made or grown food that you’d never expect to see! I know they also give gift cards to unhoused students and host free clothing giveaways too. I’ve even seen various other needs met through by someone making an ask and someone else graciously meeting that need. It is so uplifting to see the positivity that is generated by helping each other out. It just shows how Una Vida is truly committed to helping others. Thank you to everyone involved with this fantastic organization.” - April Lofgren
