Archie's Pantry

Welcome to Archie’s Pantry!

Our operation began as informal distributions to students of everyday items such as clothes, shoes, notebooks, and hairbrushes led to Care Closets, which opened at the Ramona and Montecito high schools and Olive Peirce Middle School in April.

Archie’s Pantry is a free thrift store in Ramona, CA. Take what you need, and give what you can. Shop and donate with dignity.

Please only bring one trash bag or box of donations at a time. Click below to read Ramona Sentinal’s article about Archie’s Pantry.

Archie’s Pantry Partners

Ramona Food & Clothes Closet

Archie’s Pantry has partnered with Ramona Food and Clothes Closet (RFCC) and we may distribute/donate items to their program at our discretion, and based on our inventory levels and the types of items that we receive.

Additionally, we may donate items to other local community organizations and events, including but not limited to: local schools, PTA’s, non-profits and other programs that align with our mission statement and values. We may post items on local social media sites to raise awareness and interest of our program and encourage the community to come utilize our free thrift store.

If an item has a high monetary value, we may use it as an auction item to raise money to offset our overhead costs.
