What an amazing Regional Chamber of Commerce mixer. We love being able to take time out to meet with businesses in the community. Thank you to Redondo Beach Chamber of Commerce for coordinating! It was great seeing familiar faces of friends from Torrance Area Chamber of Commerce and Lomita Chamber of Commerce.

Thank you for being the Lord’s hands 🙏❤️🙏
We are grateful to our community for being so generous in their support. This in turn allows us to give generously to those most in need.
Your kindness makes a huge difference! Those receiving feel seen, heard, cared for and loved. They are more grateful than we can express in words.
May God richly bless you all💖

A little extra summer fun at our Infant Pantry! 💜

This summer, we started a monthly raffle featuring special items generously donated by ALDI. Every family who visits our Infant Pantry has a chance to enter, and on the last Thursday of each month, we draw one lucky winner!

We love finding little ways to bring some extra joy to the families we serve—and seeing a mom and her little one leave with something special makes it even sweeter.

A big thank you to ALDI for helping us make these summer raffles possible and for supporting the families of Community’s Child!

What a blessing to once again support David Henseler. Our team loaded up his car with infant supplies that are being delivered to military families. They will be receiving diapers and clothing for more than 45 newborn to 12 month old babies. It feels good to support our military families. Join us in saying a prayer for all of our US military families! God bless these families as they sacrifice for our country. Thank you David for the opportunity to be a blessing!
