How Food Now
STARTED (1959)
Desert Hot Springs is renowned for its therapeutic
mineral waters, attracting visitors from around the globe seeking
their healing benefits.
However, beneath the surface lies a stark reality
of tragedy. Shockingly, nearly thirty-four percent
of the local population here lives below the poverty line,
surpassing the national average by more than double.
Food Insecurity and Hunger
A Commitment to Change
Food insecurity represents the uncertainty of knowing where the next meal will come from, the struggle to put food on the table. It is a distressing reality that many individuals face. Hunger, on the other hand, encapsulates the physical hardship and the painful sensation of not having enough nourishment to sustain oneself. At Food Now, our unwavering dedication lies in improving the lives of those grappling with these challenges in Desert Hot Springs and the wider Coachella Valley. We firmly believe that by strengthening families, entire communities can rise together. By addressing the critical issues of food insecurity and hunger, we are driven to make a lasting impact on lives—one that extends beyond the present generation and leaves a positive legacy for future ones.

The group of volunteers at this Food Now program are the very best, caring, hard working which makes my Thursdays! The food is delicious and such great variety. It’s like Christmas 4X’s a month. I was embarrassed needing help, now just grateful! Also thanks meow from my kittens. Brenda Banks
Dear Food Now, I am sending a check for $50 as a show of how grateful I am of the services you provide to the community. You are truly a blessing. Not sure if I would have made it through some of my roughest days if beautiful people like you did not exist. Wish I could do more. I will never forget your kindness. With Love, Danny Farnham
