Our Mission is simple… We are “People helping people”- The Bodega operates with no government funding, our doors stay open and our shelves stocked from donations given by our supporters!

Benny’s Bodega is comprised of community members and a stable of volunteers, that work collaboratively to operate our Bodega and keep it functioning 4 days a week. Our hours are designed too help those who are employed or who may have a different weekly schedule. Our “hand-up” philosophy removes the stigma attached to receiving free services and our name itself suggest one is purely “shopping” for their everyday household products. As we continues to grow and build partnerships in the community, it is our hope we are able to expand into other counties and establish Bodegas in every community.
