Our MissionThe Mission of the South Bay Outreach Center is to serve people experiencing hardship, so they can attain greater fullness of life. To accomplish this end, South Bay Outreach Center commits to providing food, clothing, and other supportive services to direct and guide people along the path to self-sufficiency.
Over the past 40 years, South Bay Outreach Center has successfully served people experiencing hardship throughout South Bay Los Angeles. We help all who come to our door. |
Our Partners in CharityWe have very generous, local sponsors for the SBOC Food Outreach programs. Please thank and patronize these special companies who give every week.
Our sponsors provide gifts-in-kind (food, merchandise, etc.) which we collect, process, and package in food boxes for distribution to the needy of South Bay Los Angeles. |

Message from Donna Quirk, Executive Director
Ten Rules for getting rid of the blues. Go out and do something nice for someone else, then repeat it 9 times. Thank you for helping the South Bay Outreach Center to do something nice for the people who come to us.
Thank you for your generosity. Thank you for helping us to continue our work and to keep on Planting Hope. With your support, the South Bay Outreach Center plants Hope in the hearts and minds of our clients. Hope for protection from being forced to live on the streets and hope for them to build a better future for their families. This is work I cannot do without your help. It takes a community. You are the light, the catalyst. You are the world movers and shakers. You, with your time, talent, and treasure, are an essential part of our efforts to make the world a better place. We are most grateful, and much blessed by your presence and your generosity. Thanks to those who are a part of our community. To those friends, whom I have not yet met, I extend an invitation to come, visit the South Bay Outreach Center, and join our community. Come to serve and to be served. Thank you for your kind thoughts and words, for your prayers, for your financial contributions, and for the time and energy you give to those who are less well off in the world. It is you, those with the generous and happy hearts that make the world a welcoming place to be. |
