Donate Food to South Central LAMP’s Thanksgiving Food Drive: Help us stock the shelves and feed our neighbors—or donate food to a food pantry near you.

Make a Cash Donation: Donate money to your local food bank or food pantries (cash allows the food banks and food pantries to purchase fresh items, or items that are not normally available as donations). We partner with the St. Francis Center for our food distribution.

Be an Advocate #1: Talk to your local grocery store to see if they are already giving leftovers to their local food bank.

Be an Advocate #2: Put pressure on Congress to reopen the government.

Federal Shutdown Food Resources: If you or your family need food assistance, visit Locate a Partner Agency or call 211.

County Parks is also offering free food to youth, teens, and seniors: www.parks.lacounty.gov/lacounty-parks-food-programs/

Seniors over 60 may be eligible for a free meal at local senior centers: Call 800-510-2020.



Those who are pregnant or postpartum may be eligible for WIC benefits. To apply, visit: www.startwic.org or text “APPLY” to 91997.

2025 Harvest Festival

Happy fall! Our Children and Adult Programs had a wonderful time celebrating at our Harvest Festival! It was a joyful afternoon filled with sensory play and festive arts and crafts, including pumpkin spice playdough, colorful spaghetti, and spiderweb creations. Families also enjoyed a storybook costume parade, and every child went “trick-or-treating”—for books! It was a fun, creative celebration of fall, learning, and imagination.
