Poverty today doesn’t look like it did before. It’s not visible from the outside. It can be seen inside their homes, in the empty fridges.
To help ease the burdens of food insecurity, income inequality, and the cost of living, Tzu Chi USA has hosted a Mobile Food Pantry program since November 2016. Through our mobile service, we serve low-income families, often non-English speaking, across Southern California who struggle with meeting basic needs.
It’s really great, what they're doing. They do a lot on their part… They have huge hearts.
Unlike many pantries who mostly offer canned goods, we offer perishables that include fresh produce and vegetables, dairy products, and dry goods like rice, beans, and more. This way, we can also help combat the rising complications of obesity and help give even our littlest Californians the nutrition they need to grow big and strong.
