Partner Agencies Address Food Insecurity Throughout the County

Partnering with other non-profit organizations is crucial in the fight against hunger. Most of the Food Bank’s distribution happens through this network of partner agencies. Partner agencies are often food pantries, but many offer other services. North Valley Caring Services (NVCS) is a partner agency that is essential in addressing food insecurity in the San Fernando Valley.

NVCS is a non-profit organization based in North Hills, Los Angeles County, California, that provides various services and programs to low-income families, individuals, and underserved communities. Among the services that NVCS offers is a food pantry that distributes groceries to those in need. The LA Regional Food Bank is a reliable source of food for NVCS and plays a significant role in the success of its food distribution. The NVCS food pantry is a vital resource for people in the area who are struggling with food insecurity, and it serves as a bridge between those in need and the available food.
