Food and Clothing Distribution Program:

Healing Yourself Outreach Program's:

The HYOP Impact Food and Clothing Distribution Program is specifically designed to reduce food insecurity and promote food security among lower-income families. Many of these families face significant barriers to obtaining fresh, nutritionally adequate, and culturally appropriate foods. Through our targeted food and clothing delivery efforts, we aim to ensure that nutritious food, as well as essential clothing for toddlers and youth, are accessible to those who need it most, helping to build healthier communities and support the well-being of underserved populations.

Our program partners with local organizations to source culturally relevant foods and organizes pop-up events in neighborhoods identified as high-need, ensuring that our support is both accessible and responsive to community preferences.
