Our City has a food center for people that are in need.....here is Lancaster Ca,....it is called Grace Resources. The churches in the neighborhoods all know of the food shelters, so you might check with them. The churches take food donations & give them to the resource centers for people. This was also the case in the area where my MOther lived.

The church offices usually know where the resouce centers are....just a matter of asking....unless you can find something in the phone book.

Hope everything works out ok for you....it is a tough place to be in for sure,
Debbie
