Help the homeless

The North Hollywood Interfaith Pantry is a local service that has provided bags of groceries every Friday and Monday morning since 1983.  Each week, they distribute almost 600 bags.

The Pantry is a coalition of 10 local churches and synagogues.  The pantry serves the homeless and needy families without any hesitation.  All who come for assistance receive what we have to give.

Many times we are asked for items that are needed that we do not have access to, such as:

  • Diapers (adult and children)
  • Hygiene products (toothpaste and toothbrushes, shampoo, soap, and as asked for often, "girlie stuff")
  • Socks (as cold weather approaches)
  • Watch caps
  • Warm jackets (adult and children)
  • Used blankets and sleeping bags
  • Tarps
  • Gloves
  • Long underwear / thermal underwear

The Pantry is located behind the First Christian Church of North Hollywood, on the corner of Colfax and Moorpark.  We are open to accept anything that can help on Mondays from 8:00 am until 1:00pm and Fridays from 7:00am until 1:00pm.
