Christy’s Foundation fights food insecurity by providing free groceries and hunger relief programs in Northridge and the San Fernando Valley. Donate today.
What Is Food Insecurity and Why It Matters
Across the United States, millions of families struggle with food insecurity, meaning they don’t have consistent access to enough nutritious food to live healthy, active lives. In Los Angeles County alone, food insecurity impacts over 1 in 5 households, and the numbers continue to grow as the cost of living rises.
Food insecurity is more than just hunger—it can lead to long-term health problems, impact children’s learning, and create cycles of poverty that are hard to break.
Christy’s Foundation’s Commitment to Ending Hunger
At Christy’s Foundation, we believe no one should have to choose between paying rent and putting food on the table. Through our free grocery distribution programs, we provide thousands of pounds of fresh produce, dairy, meats, and pantry staples every week to families across Northridge and the San Fernando Valley.
Our hunger relief program serves over 1,000 families per week, ensuring that children, seniors, and working families have access to healthy, nutritious meals—without judgment and without barriers.
How Our Food Relief Program Works
We host weekly food distribution events at the Northridge Fashion Center, offering:
- Fresh fruits and vegetables
- Dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt
- High-quality proteins including chicken, fish, and turkey
- Pantry staples and non-perishable items
- Seasonal items for holidays (Thanksgiving turkeys, Christmas groceries, etc.)
Families simply come during distribution hours, and our volunteers help them shop for free.
The Power of Community in Fighting Hunger
Food insecurity is a problem we can solve—but only together. Every bag of groceries we give out is possible because of the generosity of volunteers, sponsors, and donors.
Here’s how you can help fight hunger in our community:
- Donate – Every $1 helps us provide 4 meals. Make a donation here
