West Valley Food Pantry Groundbreaking Ceremony

Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel joined local leaders at the West Valley Food Pantry to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Pantry’s new expansion project to create a permanent facility to combat hunger and homelessness in the San Fernando Valley. 

In 2021, Assemblymember Gabriel secured $3.5 million in the California state budget to fund this project and expand the Pantry’s outreach and services. This funding allows the nonprofit to transition out of its current makeshift space and into a permanent facility designed for providing food and groceries as well as vital services to individuals experiencing homelessness.
