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.

Friends in Need in California

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!
