Unlike other food banks we help all those that ask for our assistance without judgment to location or income standards. We receive many referrals from County and Government offices throughout Los Angeles County, Riverside County and San Bernardino County for our Family Pack Program. It has taken us 15 years to build our resources of donations to support the growing number of homeless and families needing our services.
Due to our non discriminating polices we do not receive aid from Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and we fully understand the reasons why. Our strong desire to help those that ask for our assistance has created a niche for us helping needy families that are unable to qualify for government assistance.
The resources of California are strapped and were an organization that is not effected by budget cuts and we proudly support our government agencies with pride. We assist Homeless Outreaches with LA County Sheriff's and LA County Health Department throughout Los Angeles County. I am looking at the positive side that faith base organizations can provide California’s communities. We are seated in South El Monte, a location to many homeless and where unemployment is estimated at over 18% being the highest in the San Gabriel Valley. I think were a great platform to promote people helping people and native pride in Los Angeles County, were 100% volunteers doing God's work serving our local community.
What am I asking for? To unite Southern California tribes to post us as an emergency resource for food, note were highly promoted by 211 Call for Help Hot Line. It would be great for the state to embrace us for our creative efforts to aide our local government without drawing down on limited funding. We are reaching our 16th year of operation in South El Monte. God Provides Food Bank piloted Albertsons Fresh Rescue Program that went nationwide, first Native American Food Bank in California, feature on Divethefilm.com winner of fourteen FILM FESTIVAL AWARDS and operates on zero government funding. Our current project is establishing a second God Provides location measuring 30,000 sq ft. serving both Los Angeles County and San Bernardino County in the near future.
God Provides Food Bank is a non-profit 501(C)(3), Native American Christian faith based organization that serves the needs of the under-served and un-served members of the community regardless of their faith. God Provides Ministry strives to be a helping hand in difficult times in performing its purpose for being. Our working ministry's purpose for being is found in John 21:15-17.
