At the end of life, we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked, and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.

We Help operates in the City of Long Beach, Christ the Good Shepherd Food Pantry. Depending on food availability, we feed between 6,000 and 8,000 people every month. The monetary value of food distributed exceeds $1.5 Million a year. At the food Pantry, we meet our community and determine their needs.
Our Mobile Food Pantry delivers food to families lacking means of transportation and/or the ability to carry the food they receive back to their homes. We identified Seniors Housing and Section 8 Housing Projects as a target for food distribution by the Mobile Food Pantry. These housing projects have seniors with limited mobility and under-served communities in desperate need of food. Some of the families in these projects were, at one time, homeless with limited financial resources.
