Description

Community Outreach Center was established by local business leaders. After years of supporting nonprofits they envisioned creating a resource that would become a beacon of hope for many families to come. Out of this vision Community Outreach Center was created to serve the 1 in 4 Americans facing food insecurities. Community Outreach Center provides food, non-food products and services to families who are in need, when they need them. We collect food, non-food products and other support from community distributors, manufacturers, retail outlets, individuals and corporations throughout Southern California. We welcome everyone to the Community Outreach Center. Families are able to have a "shopping" like experience when they walk through the doors of the COC. We currently serve approximately 500 families per week with enough food to sustain their families for up to 2 weeks.
