Hunger Prevention Food Pantry
Hunger Prevention Food Pantry: Emergency and ongoing nutritious food assistance is provided to families with children, seniors and individuals who are hungry. The food is part of their overall financial plan toward self-sufficiency. This program is made possible by our 7-days a week, fresh rescues from local grocery stores, USDA food, Second Harvest Food Bank, OC Food Bank, and food donations from community partners such as churches, businesses, civic organizations, schools, scouts, and individuals. Last year, 22,381 hungry people sought FAM as a food source through 123,431 encounters. And 1,988 local volunteers make this and other FAM programs possible. Food donations are distributed at FAM's main Resource Center in San Clemente as well as at our three satellite offices and smaller pantry partners. FAM also partners with various local organizations to further distribute food and personal care items to even more low-income families and individuals in need of assistance. Clothing, adult and children's diapers, pet food, toiletries and other personal care items are also distributed.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2023 – Jun 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$6.8MHomeless Prevention Services
Homeless Prevention Services: Diversion and Prevention are key components of FAM's Homeless Prevention Program. People who are unhoused are connected to family and friends through FAM's robust Homeward Bound Program. Case management including financial counsel, rental assistance, utility assistance, transportation vouchers, car repair, car registration, back-to-school supplies, clothing, job search coaching, senior-specific assistance, medical, dental and prescription assistance are examples of services that are provided to clients seeking a hand-up. All services are provided as a part of an overall financial stabilizing plan. Bills are paid directly to service providers. FAM expanded its outreach by opening a second Resource Center that will allow for clients to receive services closer to home. Clients can now access services at FAM's two Resource Centers and three satellite locations. Also new for FAM are the services we now provide to assist MediCal clients with support services such as housing navigation for those who are unhoused and seeking permanent housing, housing deposits to help with security deposits, first months rent and household set-up, housing sustainability to help with landlord relations and referrals for other services needed, and financial literacy to help with budgeting, banking and much more. Through a new partnership with Mission Hospital, FAM assisted 40 individuals who are frequent users of the hospital emergency services and provided non-congregant shelter options. The partnership with the hospital social worker along with FAM's housing-focused Case Manager linked clients to permanent housing options.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2023 – Jun 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$947.2KPermanent Supportive Housing
