Compton Food Pantry: A Community Partnership in Action

The Compton Chamber of Commerce, founder and main sponsor of the Compton Food Pantry, proudly celebrates its ongoing collaboration with St. James AME Church and For the Love of Our Veterans organization. Together, we have built a strong and compassionate alliance that continues to serve our community with dedication and love.

​

St. James AME Church has generously provided a permanent home for the program and continues to be a vital food donor.

For the Love of Our Veterans leads the day-to-day operations, coordinating our devoted team of volunteers who ensure that food reaches those who need it most.

​

We extend our deepest gratitude to all who make this effort possible — our volunteers, private donors, NGOs, and the many federal (USDA), state, county, and City of Los Angeles food partners and distribution centers. Through your combined efforts, the Compton Food Pantry has not missed a single day of service since the onset of the pandemic.

​

With renovations and reorganization now complete, our new permanent home is fully equipped with optimized refrigeration and storage facilities, and our senior and disabled resident delivery program is running strong.

​

We are endlessly grateful for everyone who supports this mission through food and monetary donations and the gift of time. If you would like to volunteer or contribute, please reach out to the Pantry team — together, we continue to make a difference.
