Fighting Food Insecurity in the San Fernando Valley: How Christy’s Foundation Is Feeding Thousands
2025-08-14 08:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York)
Food insecurity is one of the biggest challenges facing families in Los Angeles today. Across the United States, more than 44 million people, including 1 in 5 children, struggle to find enough food. Right here in Los Angeles County, over 1 million residents experience food insecurity every year. Rising grocery prices and economic uncertainty are making it harder for families to put healthy meals on the table.

At Christy’s Foundation Food Relief Program, we believe no one should go hungry. That’s why we provide free groceries, diapers, and essential items every week to families across the San Fernando Valley. Located inside the Northridge Fashion Center Mall, our program is helping to reduce hunger and bring hope to thousands of families.

The Impact of Christy’s Foundation

Every week, we serve hundreds of families through large-scale food distributions. Our mission is to provide healthy, nutritious food that families can count on. So far this year, we’ve achieved:

300,000+ pounds of food distributed to local families.

More than 15,000 individuals served, including children, seniors, and single parents.

120,000+ pounds of fresh produce like fruits and vegetables, supporting healthier lifestyles.

High-quality proteins including chicken, fish, and turkey, ensuring balanced meals.

Diapers and baby essentials for families with infants and young children.

How We’re Fighting Hunger Every Day

Weekly Food Relief Distributions – Every Thursday at our Northridge location, we hand out over 30,000 pounds of free groceries to families in need.

Holiday Food Giveaways – During Thanksgiving and Christmas, we provide turkeys, chickens, hams, and full meals so families can celebrate with dignity.

Nutrition & Healthy Eating Education – We don’t just give food. We also provide resources on how to prepare affordable, healthy meals using the items we distribute.

Community Partnerships – With the support of local businesses, sponsors, and volunteers, we’re able to expand our reach and serve more people every month.

Why This Matters

Food insecurity doesn’t just mean going hungry. It affects health, school performance, and family stability. By ensuring families have access to free, nutritious groceries, Christy’s Foundation is helping reduce stress, improve health outcomes, and build a stronger community for everyone.

How You Can Help End Hunger

We cannot do this work alone. You can make a difference by:

Donating – Every dollar helps us purchase food and essentials.

Volunteering – Join us at our weekly food distributions or holiday events.

Spreading the Word – Share our mission with your friends, family, and coworkers.

👉 Visit www.christysfoundation.org/donate to support families in need today.

Together, we can fight hunger and bring hope to the San Fernando Valley.

Christy’s Foundation Annual Gala: An Evening of Hope, Giving, and Community Impact
2025-08-14 08:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York)
Food insecurity is a growing crisis in Los Angeles County, where more than 1 million people struggle daily to put food on the table. At Christy’s Foundation Food Relief Program, we see this need firsthand every week. Families line up at our Northridge Fashion Center Mall location to receive free groceries, diapers, and essential items that help them get through tough times.

We know the need is great — but so is the power of community. That’s why we are hosting our Annual Gala Fundraiser this fall, an afternoon dedicated to generosity, celebration, and lasting impact.

Date: Sunday, November 16, 2025

Time: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM

Location: Pinstripes at Westfield Topanga Mall21851 Victory Blvd, Ste 1250, Woodland Hills, CA 91303

This unforgettable event will bring together friends, neighbors, and community leaders who believe in one powerful mission: no family in the San Fernando Valley should go hungry.

Why This Gala Matters

The Christy’s Foundation Gala isn’t just an elegant afternoon with live performances, delicious food, raffles, and silent auctions — it’s about fueling our mission to fight hunger and bring dignity to struggling families. Every dollar raised will go directly toward:

Thanksgiving & Christmas Giveaways – Providing turkeys, chickens, hams, and full meals so families can enjoy the holidays without worry.

Weekly Food Distributions – Continuing to serve over 1,000 families every week, with 30,000 pounds of groceries distributed at our Northridge location.

Nutritional Education – Teaching families how to prepare affordable, healthy meals that make the most of what they receive.

Expanding Our Reach – Growing our capacity to serve even more families across the San Fernando Valley.

We are not just handing out food. We are giving hope, relief, and stability to parents who want to provide for their children, to seniors living on fixed incomes, and to families working hard to make ends meet.

What to Expect at the Gala

Live Entertainment – Enjoy incredible performances that set the tone for a lively and inspiring afternoon. Delicious Dining – Savor food and drinks while connecting with friends, neighbors, and community leaders. Silent Auction & Raffles – Bid on exciting experiences and unique items, with all proceeds supporting our programs. Community Awards – We’ll honor sponsors, volunteers, and changemakers who make Christy’s Foundation possible.

This will be a celebration of everything we’ve accomplished together — and a powerful reminder of how much more we can achieve with your support.

Join Us in the Fight Against Hunger

Food insecurity doesn’t just mean empty cupboards. It means parents skipping meals so their children can eat, seniors facing impossible choices between food and medicine, and children going to school on an empty stomach. These are the families we serve every week — and they need us now more than ever.

By attending the Gala, you’re not just joining an event. You’re joining a movement. Together, we can raise the funds needed to ensure no family in our community is left behind this holiday season.

Be Part of the Change

Reserve Your Seat Today – Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available now. Space is limited, and this event will sell out quickly.Visit www.christysfoundation.org to secure your spot.

Let’s come together on November 16th at Pinstripes, celebrate the power of giving, and make a lasting impact for families across the San Fernando Valley.

Because when we unite as a community, hunger doesn’t stand a chance.

Packing Healthy Lunches on a Budget — Christy’s Foundation Back-to-School Guide
2025-08-15 08:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York)
Back-to-school season should be full of excitement, but for many families it can also bring financial stress. Rising grocery prices make it hard to pack healthy, affordable lunches every day. At Christy’s Foundation Food Relief Program, we know that food insecurity doesn’t stop when the school year begins. That’s why we’re committed to helping families across Northridge and the San Fernando Valley with free groceries, school essentials, and resources for healthy living.

This guide will show you how to pack nutritious school lunches on a budget, while also highlighting how Christy’s Foundation is fueling kids for success both in and out of the classroom.

Why Nutritious Lunches Matter

Children who eat balanced, wholesome meals are more likely to:

Stay focused and energized in class.

Perform better academically.

Develop healthier habits for life.

Yet, many families struggling with food insecurity are forced to choose convenience over nutrition. Christy’s Foundation bridges that gap by distributing fresh produce, proteins, and pantry staples every week, ensuring kids have the healthy fuel they need to thrive.

Budget-Friendly Lunchbox Ideas

Here are some low-cost, kid-friendly lunch ideas using foods often available through Christy’s Foundation distributions:

Protein Wraps: Whole wheat tortillas filled with beans, shredded chicken, or tuna, plus lettuce and cheese.

DIY Snack Boxes: Apple slices, string cheese, carrot sticks, and whole grain crackers.

Egg Muffins: Eggs whisked with veggies, baked in muffin tins for a quick, grab-and-go meal.

Pasta Salad: Cooked pasta mixed with beans, chopped vegetables, and a light vinaigrette.

Trail Mix Treats: Pretzels, raisins, sunflower seeds, and a few chocolate chips for sweetness.

Tips to Stretch Your Food Budget

Plan ahead to avoid waste and overspending.

Buy in bulk for staples like rice, beans, and oats.

Use leftovers creatively in next-day lunches.

Freeze extras like bread, fruits, or proteins before they spoil.

Get kids involved — children are more likely to enjoy meals they helped prepare.

Christy’s Foundation Back-to-School Support

This year, Christy’s Foundation is giving families more than food. Our Back-to-School Giveaway events provide:

Free groceries and fresh produce.

Backpacks and school supplies.

Clothing, fun socks, diapers, and wipes for younger children.

Nutritional tips and recipe ideas to make the most of distributed food.

With over 30,000 pounds of food distributed every week and 1,000+ families served, Christy’s Foundation is making sure kids return to school nourished, confident, and ready to learn.

Be Part of the Solution

You can help Christy’s Foundation continue to fight food insecurity:

Donate: Every dollar helps feed more families. Give here ➝ www.christysfoundation.org

Volunteer: Join us during weekly distributions or special events to make a direct impact.

Share Our Mission: Use hashtags like #BackToSchoolWithChristys and #EndFoodInsecurity to spread the word on social media.

Final Thought

No child should start the school year hungry. With the support of our community, Christy’s Foundation is making sure every student has the nourishment and resources they need to succeed. Together, we’re building a healthier, stronger, and more hopeful future — one lunchbox at a time.
