Eviction Prevention Program
|
Life is uncertain, especially for those individuals and families who live in utter poverty. Our Eviction Prevention Program provides families and individuals with the security of a roof over their heads and the happiness of remaining in their homes. By providing rent and utility payment to those who desperately need help, struggle to make ends meet, or need an occasional hand-up, we are lowering the homeless population in Ventura County.

Food Pantry
|
The number of food insecure families and individuals in Ventura County is growing. We are combating hunger at the Ventura Service Center food pantry. Every Tuesday and Thursday we offer a half week supply of nutritious food to families and individuals in need or a sack lunch for those looking for just a meal to get by. Providing nourishment education to those most in need is an essential component to our food pantry operation, as well.

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." -Matthew 25:35-36
Legal Assistance
|
Holiday Services |
|
Maneuvering the legal system for low-income families and individuals is financially difficult and often times confusing. Once every week, an experienced lawyer provides pro-bono legal advice, consultations, and referrals. We advocate for all while remembering that human interaction can always use a touch of mercy.
Hours
Fri: 9:30am-2:30pm |
From Thanksgiving turkeys to Christmas gifts for children, we ensure the holidays are special for everyone! Call to learn about program registration.

Rick RaineFood Pantry and Facilities Coordinator"Knowing that someone who received food will get a good night's sleep because they aren't going to bed hungry is why I do the job. If I know someone will have a roof over their heads because they received rental assistance, I always make sure to tell them 'Sleep well tonight'... their gratitude is infectious.
