God Provides Food Bank is a Native American Food Bank in California and we offer assistance to the entire San Gabriel Valley.  The food bank distributes over 100 pounds of food in each food pack which is enough food to feed a family of four for one week. Our Family Pack Program is a hand up and not a hand down service created by our organization to make food available to all families. We demonstrate Native Pride by not only shipping 10,000 lbs to our local reservations monthly but also offering many of our services to Los Angeles County Communities.

 

Unlike other food banks, we offer assistance to everyone regardless of location.  Our Food Pack Program receives referrals from Government offices throughout Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County and San Bernardino Counties.   It has taken 15 years to build the donation resources that are needed to support the growing number of homeless individuals and families currently using our services.

 

California’s declining financial assistance resources do not affect our organization as we do not receive any government funding.  We proudly support our government agencies; we assist the Homeless Outreaches throughout LA County in coordination with the LA County Sheriff's Department and the LA County Health Department.   Our food bank is located in South El Monte which is the location for many of the homeless where unemployment is estimated to be over 18% which is the highest in the San Gabriel Valley. We’re a great non-profit organization that promotes people helping people in the San Gabriel Valley.  We do this by being staffed 100% by volunteers doing God's work for our local communities. 

 

God Provides is highly promoted by 211 Call for Help Hotline, help piloted Albertsons Fresh Rescue Program that went nationwide, first Native American Food Bank in California, and featured on film Dive (Divethefilm.com) winner of fourteen FILM FESTIVAL AWARDS. Our Current project is establishing a second food bank bordering Los Angeles County and San Bernardino County serving all of Southern California Native American Family Centers and surrounding communities.

 

I believe God Provides Ministry Food Bank is a great organization which is dedicated to serving the Greater Los Angeles Communities and is growing in many positive directions.   We support many organizations, respect all religions, and promote a Christian outlook by sharing our efforts to remove hunger from our surrounding areas.

 

I would like to thank you Mr. President Obama for your time and assistance.  Please feel free to contact us.

 

God Bless you,

God Provides Food Bank located in South El Monte. They have a great family pack program and have been around for 15 years. They receive refferral from 211 Los Angeles County Call for Help Line

I would like to say Allan is a simple guy with big dreams. I think that my best part of me, the part that believes things can be better. Expect nothing and apprieciate everything, this way I make a big deal of the little positive things that come my way.

My grand children bring me great joy even tho I don't get to see them that often. I am very excited for our plans to have them over summer vacation. I am newly married and my wife Bell keeps me busy on all subjects.

I work for the Lord helping others six days a week, ten hours a day with the Food Bank. The pay is great but the wages suck. My pay is making children smile and removing the face of stress, and hopelessness from a mother face. Guiding drug and acohol addicted people to a recovery program. As for Wages I don't get any, I am a volunteer, I was an acoholic.

I am a US Army Veteran, now a solider of God. My change came when my life had no direction, no desire, no resposibilities. Now all that has change because there is a world out there that needs soliders of God and the war is never ending. Today I fight hunger, homelessness, and egnorances in government.

Allan is happy and regrets are to learn from, not carrying them around screwing up the life I am making the best of. I am a Christian with faults, a solider with a purpose, an Indian by blood. Don't open any doors your not prepared to walk through. God Bless you

Food Waste and companies that don't get it. As a leader in "Food Rescue" a program that captures food prior to expiration and freezing it. For example Milk, Cheese, Meats, etc, etc. can be frozen, therefore extending the useage of the product. Produce ripen or near the best sell by date can also be distributed. I attached a viedo link to share the wasteful thinking that still going on today. Albertsons Groceries is a leader on Food Rescue with their FRESH RESCUE PROGRAM and I would like say Thank You. Some Companies viewed still continue to treat food that can be save as spoilages. Check out the DIVE the Film.

God Provides Food Bank is the only Native American Food Bank in California and we support the entire San Gabriel Valley. Were also a food bank open six days a week serving 100 lb Family Packs that can support a family of four for one week. Our Family Pack is a hand up and not a hand down program create by our organization and demonstrate Native Pride by not only shipping 10,000lbs to our local reservations monthly but also offering our services to Los Angeles Communities families.

Unlike other food banks we help all those that ask for our assistance without judgment to location or income standards. We receive many referrals from County and Government offices throughout Los Angeles County, Riverside County and San Bernardino County for our Family Pack Program. It has taken us 15 years to build our resources of donations to support the growing number of homeless and families needing our services.

Due to our non discriminating polices we do not receive aid from Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and we fully understand the reasons why. Our strong desire to help those that ask for our assistance has created a niche for us helping needy families that are unable to qualify for government assistance.

The resources of California are strapped and were an organization that is not effected by budget cuts and we proudly support our government agencies with pride. We assist Homeless Outreaches with LA County Sheriff's and LA County Health Department throughout Los Angeles County. I am looking at the positive side that faith base organizations can provide California’s communities. We are seated in South El Monte, a location to many homeless and where unemployment is estimated at over 18% being the highest in the San Gabriel Valley. I think were a great platform to promote people helping people and native pride in Los Angeles County, were 100% volunteers doing God's work serving our local community.

What am I asking for? To unite Southern California tribes to post us as an emergency resource for food, note were highly promoted by 211 Call for Help Hot Line. It would be great for the state to embrace us for our creative efforts to aide our local government without drawing down on limited funding. We are reaching our 16th year of operation in South El Monte. God Provides Food Bank piloted Albertsons Fresh Rescue Program that went nationwide, first Native American Food Bank in California, feature on Divethefilm.com winner of fourteen FILM FESTIVAL AWARDS and operates on zero government funding. Our current project is establishing a second God Provides location measuring 30,000 sq ft. serving both Los Angeles County and San Bernardino County in the near future.

God Provides Food Bank is a non-profit 501(C)(3), Native American Christian faith based organization that serves the needs of the under-served and un-served members of the community regardless of their faith. God Provides Ministry strives to be a helping hand in difficult times in performing its purpose for being. Our working ministry's purpose for being is found in John 21:15-17.

 in response to Starshine...   Everyone in need is welcome. We try to do uur best and most of our volunteers are from sober living homes.

Trying to open doors for our food bank to be shared and increase awareness of our mission of helping homeless. I can never have a bad day when she waiting at home for me.

Busy very Busy, doing my best to make a positive change in our community.
