Supportive Services Program
This Program is designed to provide Supportive Services when required to American Indians, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians living at or below the Federal poverty level residing in Orange and Riverside counties. These programs are funded by the Northern California Indian Development Council (NCIDC) through a Community Service Block Grant (CSBG).
Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, food distribution is currently limited to Thursday afternoons, 1pm-3pm. Please call in advance to reserve a pickup time. Pickups are made upstairs just outside of our building in Fountain Valley.
