Pantry of HOPE-Service LearningAt — Operation HOPE-North County

Opportunity Summary 

The Pantry of HOPE was created in 2020 to provide residents who have graduated the Steps to Independence program with healthy food each week. The pantry provides families with fresh produce, canned goods, dairy, and protein as well as diapers, hygiene items, clothing, house hold items and access to additional resources as needed. This allows families to remain independent and stay connected to Operation HOPE-North County for long term success.
