Gratitude in action 🧡 This Thanksgiving, our team and volunteers came together for our annual holiday giveaway—serving over 400 people with turkeys, side dishes, and our regular groceries.

In a season when many in our community are experiencing real difficulties, we were grateful for the chance to show up with support, compassion, and care for our South LA families.

A huge thank-you to our incredible community partners whose dedication and generosity made this day possible. Because of you, our impact continues to grow, strengthening the well-being of our neighbors and creating meaningful change

This Giving Tuesday, we’re doing something a little different. 💛📚
Instead of asking for donations, we’re asking you to help us put books directly into the hands of children at UMMA Health.

Through the Reach Out & Read program, our pediatric providers give every child a book during their well-child visits—building early literacy, strengthening family bonds, and supporting healthy brain development.

✨ You can make an immediate impact:
Just choose a book from our Amazon Wish List and it will be delivered straight to our clinics in South LA.

Order a book from our wishlist here: https://a.co/6xKiZOE

A single book can spark imagination, comfort, connection, and a lifelong love of reading.
Let’s make that possible for every child who walks through our doors. 💛

Next Wednesday, UMMA Health is hosting our Thanksgiving Food Fair, and our team came together (literally!) to pass hope from one person to the next.
This year has not been easy for South LA families — from reduced SNAP benefits to rising food costs — but when our community shows up for one another, anything is possible.

Next Wednesday, we’ll be:
✨ Distributing 400+ turkeys
✨ Hosting 14 partner organizations offering vital resources
✨ Continuing our weekly produce distribution
✨ Sharing warmth, dignity, and care with every family who comes through

Our staff showed up with heart in this reel — and we can’t wait to show up for our community just as powerfully next week.

South LA, we’re here for you. We’re thankful for you. And we can’t wait to celebrate the season together. 🤎🍂

We’re so excited to share our new CenteringPregnancy promo video featuring how we’re bringing community and connection to prenatal care at UMMA Health. 🤰🏽💛
With support from the (CHI) model — proven to reduce pre-term births, strengthen patient-provider relationships and foster peer support — we’re offering more than just prenatal care.

It’s about support.
It’s about sisterhood.
It’s about thriving together.

In our Centering sessions, expecting moms receive personalized care, connect with each other, learn, grow and feel confident as they journey toward motherhood.

This program is offered at no cost, because every mom deserves to feel safe, empowered and supported.

Share this video with someone who may benefit from the CenteringPregnancy experience at UMMA!

The past two weeks have shown us just how deeply reduced SNAP benefits are affecting families in South LA. 🍎

Even though the government shutdown has ended, the need in our community has not. This week, we documented our food fair as we entered our second week of distribution since the beginning of the , and spoke with our CEO, Adel Syed, about the urgent challenges families are facing — and how UMMA is stepping up.

As we head into the holiday season, we’re continuing our fundraiser to make sure every family has what they need for a dignified, nourishing Thanksgiving. 🧡 Your support fuels this work.

The need is rising — and fast. Since the reduction of SNAP benefits on November 1st, twice as many families came to UMMA’s food fair this week for help putting food on the table. 🥫

Thousands of families in South Los Angeles are facing a new crisis — the SNAP Gap. 🥕
 
With SNAP benefits paused, households that already struggle to afford groceries are losing the little support they had to put food on the table. The impact is immediate and devastating.
 
In South LA, where fresh produce is scarce and healthy food is often out of reach, families are now forced to choose between paying rent or buying groceries. Nearly 1 in 4 households in LA County faces food insecurity — and for low-income families, that number jumps to 41%.
 
This is where UMMA Health steps in. Every Wednesday, our Food Security Initiative distributes fresh fruits and vegetables — never expired, never shelf-stable — to thousands of families across South Los Angeles.
 
In the past year alone, we’ve delivered over 500,000 pounds of produce to 8,000 families, offering nourishment, dignity, and hope — one bag at a time.
 
But as the SNAP Gap widens, the lines are growing longer.
💛 We’re ready to respond — but we can’t do it alone.
 
👉 Donate today to help us bridge the SNAP Gap.
