On a Personal Note
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My mother founded a Food Bank, and later, a program to feed the
homeless for her church in Garden Grove, Orange County. The latter
program grew to provide clothing, snacks, and the small necessities of
daily living to those who came to eat. She received corporate
sponsorship in various amounts or via donations from Ralphs, Stater
Bros., Sav-On, Hunt Foods, Sunkist, Proctor & Gamble, and program
assistance from 3M as well as many individual local business
donations. She called on anyone she thought might help. She always
carried Program Summary Info Sheets that outlined the ministry and
listed current needs. A similar program of targeted community
solicitation within Los Angeles County might provide small grants to
build upon.
Grant proposals might seem intimidating, but perhaps you can attract
assistance by offering an experience-only internship to Public
Administration or Social Services students at religious colleges
nearby. Loyola-Marymount, Pepperdine, California Lutheran, Azuza
Pacific, Biola, or Concordia spring to mind. There are also a number
of non-credential institutions whose students might be interested in
such a ministry.
