Funding for Community Food Pantry

Many people in our community are still recovering from ongoing pandemics, food scarcity, inflation, and the related economic fallout. Please provide support to people who are new to food assistance, and to those who were struggling even before the pandemic. Your gift today is vital to distributing healthy food for hungry neighbors throughout the southern California region. We are highly efficient, and 96% of our revenues go directly to our programs providing food for children, hardworking families, struggling seniors, and more.

In the year 2020 and at the onset of Governor Gavin Newsom’s Safer-At-Home order, the Lampkin Foundation transitioned operations to provide hot meals to Ontario residents who were furloughed, unemployed, or unable to take advantage of social services due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. We initially opened our service to Ontario seniors. However, when our number of recipients continued to be low and resources were in abundance, we opened up the service to all San Bernardino County residents while giving priority to seniors.

Your support enables the D’Andre D. Lampkin Foundation to serve hundreds of thousands of individuals every month. Approximately one-quarter of our food goes to children, and roughly one-fifth ends up in the hands of older adults. It is estimated that less than 10% of our food goes to the homeless, but this is still an important population for us as well. The majority of our food goes to low-income families and individuals who sometimes struggle to make ends meet in the expensive locations that we all call home.
