There's a Mobile Fresh food bank making it's way around Stanislaus and San Joaquin Counties, giving everyone access to healthy, free food.
Their truck rolled into Tracy on Tuesday morning with a line wrapped around the block in front of Valley Christian Church.
"The thing is, California is so expensive to begin with," Flory Bock, a Mountain House resident said.
Bock moved here from Germany because of her husband's job in the Army.
"The last six years, we've been living in Europe and been used to the culture there, eating fresh produce there all the time at a very economical cost," Bock said.
She's a stay-at-home mom and the prices of food here are much higher than she's used to paying.
"We're like, 'Wow, everything is so expensive,'" Bock said.
Bock arrived at the food truck with about 200 other people, all lined up to get their free bi-weekly batch of produce.
"When we get here, the line is always wrapped around, it's down the driveway and around the street. There's a lot of people here in the area, greatly in need," Gayle Benson, a Mobile Fresh volunteer, said.
It's something Bock has grown to rely on.
"I'm grateful that they're able to give us this fresh produce, to kind of bridge the gap of the budget," Bock said.
"I know myself, I'm on a limited income," Benson said. "And if I have a choice of paying $2.98 a pound for peaches, you can bet I'm not buying peaches."
It's put together by the Second Harvest Food Bank, they started coming to Tracy and other surrounding communities about two years ago. Now, they come every other week.
"It's stuff that they normally can't buy that we're giving to them," Cesar Ranger, a coordinator for Mobile Fresh, said.
Even in Tracy neighborhoods full of $500,000 houses, there are still many families in need.
"We have so many people who are renting out rooms because they can't afford $1,000, $1,500 a month for rent," Benson said. "If you're making minimum wage or social security, you can't afford $1,500 a month, plus utilities."
Coordinators say, as the word spread about this pantry and the community grew with more people moving in from the Bay Area, the need increased.
"You can't really judge a book by its cover," Ranger said. "There's a lot of needy families, even though there's a nice home, nice cars, you never know the circumstance, what's going on with them."
From single moms, to seniors, to families of five, they say the need is everywhere and, that according to Benson, everybody has a different story.
Families are not required to provide any personal information or sign-up to receive the free produce. It comes to Tracy every other week in the Valley Christian Church parking lot.
