Our Story

Where Purpose Meets Community

Christy’s Foundation Food Relief Program was founded on one powerful mission: to ensure that no family in our community goes hungry.
Established in 2017 by Christy Dawson, a compassionate leader with an accounting background and entrepreneurial spirit, the foundation was born out of a deep awareness of how many families were silently struggling to put food on the table—despite working hard every day. Christy recognized the growing need for consistent, reliable support for individuals and families facing food insecurity, and she knew she had the skills and heart to make a difference.

Our Story

Where Purpose Meets Community

What began as a small grassroots initiative has since grown into one of the most impactful food relief programs in the San Fernando Valley. Today, Christy’s Foundation serves over 1,000 families each week, providing fresh groceries, meats, produce, dairy, pantry staples, diapers, and hygiene products from our two main locations: the Northridge Fashion Center and the Glendale Galleria.
Our commitment goes far beyond food distribution. We host holiday giveaways, back-to-school drives, nutritional classes, and community-building events throughout the year to support families with dignity, love, and care. Every item given, every smile shared, and every family served is a step toward building a stronger, more compassionate community. Through strategic partnerships, dedicated volunteers, and the generosity of donors, Christy’s Foundation continues to grow in reach and impact. Christy transformed her professional background into a movement that brings real help—and real hope—to thousands. This is our story. And we invite you to be part of it.
