Help Put Food on the Table for Local Families

At Giving Children Hope, we believe every child deserves access to nutritious food—and every family deserves the dignity of knowing where their next meal will come from.

When school cafeterias close for the weekend, many children face uncertainty about their next meal. Through our We've Got Your Back weekend food program and food distribution efforts, we help provide nutritious food to children and families across Southern California.

You can help.

Take Action Today

Bring your workplace, school, church, business, neighborhood, or community group together to collect food for local children and families.

You can collect a variety of nonperishable items or focus your drive on one of our most-needed foods. We'll provide resources and guidance to help make your food drive easy and impactful.
