It might have been cold and a little wet, but we had a very successful Holiday Food Drive last Friday in Arleta! We were able to provide 100+ families with a turkey, a bag of fresh produce, a box of shelf stable items and a few googies for the kiddos. Thanks to our partners and volunteers and Arleta Neighbors in Action! Enjoy these quick clips from the day!

About 700 people attended the LA Urban League’s career fair, as unemployment rates reach 6% in Los Angeles County. Karma Dickerson reports for the NBC4 News at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2025.

UPDATE: Our Holiday Food Distribution is done! We have run out of food and items to distribute. We were able to give away 100 turkeys thanks to Councilmember Imelda Padilla, bags of fresh produce from MEND Poverty, boxes of shelf-stable foods from PepsiCo Food For Good, and diapers & toys from Baby2Baby.

We hope that everyone who attended is able to feel a bit more secure this week, and enjoy their holiday!

Special thanks to the NHF team and volunteers from Arleta Neighborhood Council and Arleta Neighbors In Action!!

Our Story

We are a team of ‘upstreamists’ who believe that health can be improved by addressing the root causes of health disparities.

Two innovative thinkers at the Hospital Association of Southern California were responsible for dreaming up National Health Foundation, 44 years ago, as a way to extend the impact the association could have on improving healthcare. Since then, NHF has been working closely with stakeholders on a variety of health issues. However, just as the field of public health has evolved over the years, so has National Health Foundation. Today our approach is more at the community level, while retaining that connection to hospitals.

Working so closely with community members has given National Health Foundation insight into health experiences and disparities, and their very root causes. This insight has lead National Health Foundation to where it is today, with a new mission and vision that focus on remedying health inequities by taking action on the social determinants of health.

Never before has National Health Foundation been more entrenched in the communities it seeks to serve. And one would argue because of that, never before has National Health Foundation had such clear, direct impact on the health of Southern Californians.
