To help strengthen food security for families across L.A. County, L.A. Care is investing $500,000 in Food Assistance Emergency Grants to 10 community organizations. This support will ensure families can access groceries and essential food resources. 🍽️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Last year’s federal government shutdown disrupted CalFresh benefits, leaving many households struggling even more. Nutritious food is vital to good health, yet too many families in our community still face moments when that access isn’t guaranteed.

At one of our partner pantries, residents shared how meaningful this support is. “St. Joseph Center has become an extended family to me,” said Sherrie, a veteran. “When I’m there, I don’t feel ashamed to get help.”

Learn more about the organizations we’re partnering with below.
