Operation Feed Our Families is The Salvation Army’s response to the growing cost of living crisis that is facing so many of the working poor throughout Southern California. With the economy in recession and the price of such staples as eggs, milk, and bread continuing to rise, the food pantries of The Salvation Army are experiencing a dramatic increase in requests for assistance. Operation Feed Our Families is a campaign aimed at keeping the 36 Salvation Army food pantries open and viable. Currently two-thirds of our pantries are either empty or operating at 50% capacity.

A few words from Richard Riordan, Honorary Chair of Operation Feed Our Families...
