Sanctuary of Hope — Hope Connections Food and Basic Needs

Hope Connections provides free food and other basic-needs support to economically disadvantaged youth and young adults ages 16–25 who are at risk of homelessness in the South Bay area of Los Angeles County. This listing covers access to food through the Hope Connections program, not an unrestricted walk-in pantry.

Referral and registration required

A referral from a local social service agency and program registration are required before receiving services. Findhelp says the referral form is available on the Sanctuary of Hope website and may be faxed to 323-372-2211. Call 424-374-8038 to confirm the referral process, current food availability and next steps before visiting.

Findhelp lists orientation on Wednesdays, 10:00 AM–noon Pacific time, after referral and registration. Orientation is not a food-distribution schedule.
