Take action against hunger!
August 14, 2026 | Note from the CEO
Families are working through the summer months to juggle kids out of school and the cost of feeding their households nutritious and affordable food. Our Redondo Heights food bank has been open for just over a year and we are serving an average of 1,955 people from 880 households per week!
In addition, we serve community with food through the Food Bridge program at senior living facilities, our home delivery programs including our new delivery program providing medically-tailored food to home-bound patients, and our new Bridging a Gap weekend feeding program for students. This brings our total number of individuals served through food access programs to just over 2900 a week!
Our staff and volunteers bring knowledge about nutrition, safe food handling, and a compassion for serving the community which helps us to provide this vital community resource.
MSC continues to see increasing demand for the food and services we provide on a weekly basis. This is where your support comes in! Hunger Action Month is cominp up and we have two exciting ways for you to join us in taking action!
- An extremely generous donor is triple matching donations to MSC’s food access programs up to $100,000 through September 30! That means your gift is quadrupled – $25 becomes $100, $250 becomes $1,000, and $2,500 becomes $10,000! Get your gift matched!
- Our second annual Mix & Mingle is scheduled for September 11, 2026, from 4-6pm at the Redondo Heights Food Bank Market. Join us to explore MSC’s mission while engaging with passionate changemakers and making new connections! This event is about networking, learning, and celebrating Hunger Action Month! Learn more about this event and get tickets here!
Your support of these opportunities is going directly to continue meeting the needs of our community members experiencing food instability and so we can continue to offer culturally relevant and responsive food. Of course, you can always join our #hungersquad any time of the year to take action against hunger!
Your gifts make a huge difference in someone’s life and we are so grateful!
