WHO WE ARE
NORTH VALLEY CARING SERVICES
North Valley Caring Services (NVCS) is a nonprofit organization serving the residents in the Northeast San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles. What began as a soup kitchen in 1978, has grown to become the largest single-site food distribution center in the San Fernando Valley, offering FREE programs and services to over 300,000 people a year experiencing food, housing, employment and economic insecurity. We are here in our community -- for our community. We CARE!

RESPONDING TO THE LA WILDFIRES
We are HONORED to serve as a donation hub during this critical time, and we cannot thank you enough — every donor, every business, every partner, and every incredible volunteer who showed up ready to help however they could. Your kindness is breathtaking, your compassion unstoppable, and we truly couldn’t do this without YOU. 🫶 -- Manny Flores

EVERY MILE IS A STEP CLOSER TO ENDING HUNGER!
3 out of 4 households in our community are missing meals. Children are going hungry. That's why NVCS' LA Marathon Team are taking to the streets to raise money and awareness to end hunger in the San Fernando Valley!
And, that's why we need your help to make sure EVERY runner succeeds at their fundraising goal.
Our goal is to raise $75,000 to keep NVCS going and growing in 2025. You can be a part of making that happen; register to run (or walk) the Big 5K, register to run the LA Marathon or Charity Challenge Half-Marathon, start a fundraiser, sponsor or donate. EVERY DOLLAR DONATED WILL BE MATCHED BY A GENEROUS FAMILY FOUNDATION UP TO $25,000.
2023 IMPACT
By working together, we can have a lasting impact across the San Fernando Valley as well as be a model to be
shared in other places in our city.
