This past Saturday, July 10, Friends in Need held its first lunch program at 2 housing units in the San Fernando Valley area. We’ve also given books, toys, shirts to those present. It was a success and everyone is looking forward to the August barbecue!

This month (April), Friends in Need started a feeding program in Ontario, California, held every Friday at 6 pm in ‘Tent City’. Friends in Need will also start to provide lunch for families in need in the San Fernando Valley area, starting April 25. We are all excited to continue to expand our programs!

Despite the blizzard experienced in NY (total of 36 inches in Manhattan), we still handed out meals to about 170 people! Rain, sleet, or snow, (and 100% humidity), our program continues.

For the upcoming holidays, Friends in Need is fulfilling holiday wish lists from more than 100 children in the San Fernando Valley area. Families will be given food packages as well.

These families we are supporting have successfully transitioned from being homeless, although a little bit more assistance is needed.

We could still use additional support. If you would like to donate or volunteer, click here. Thank you!
