HOPE OF THE VALLEY THRIFT STORE IN SUN VALLEY IS GONE! HELP CENTER IN VAN NUYS OPEN

HOPE OF THE VALLEY RESCUE MISSION THRIFT STORE IS GONE!  Rumor is that the whole building will be torn down for residential development and that the store will reopen in.... SIMI VALLEY?  Since this location also accepted donations, including food, and served hot meals to homeless, and once also had a shelter... we feel concerned...

http://www.hopeofthevalley.org/news/new-recuperative-care-center   SO NEEDED!

Recuperative Care addresses the gap in health care for the homeless who are going back and forth between hospitals and the streets. Many homeless patients are in a vulnerable place. They are too ill to return to the streets, where their injury or illness is exasperated, but not ill enough to stay in the hospital. What they need is a “temporary home” where they can rest, be cared for and recuperate.
Hope of the Valley’s Care Center will provide that “home” environment where patients will be monitored by medical staff while receiving case management from social workers. The goal is to discharge each client from Recuperative Care to Housing.

New Facility

Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission has recently purchased a stand-alone 16,000 sq. ft. commercial building on Sepulveda Blvd. in Mission Hills that will house the Recuperative Care Center.
The new facility will have the following on-site amenities:

• 30 beds for recuperative care
• Restrooms, Showers, Laundry Facility
• Fully licensed catering kitchen
• Dining Hall/Multi-purpose Room
• 3 Exam Room Medical Clinic
• 2 Counseling Room Mental Health Clinic
• Day Room and Computer Room
• Physical Therapy Area
• Case Managers offices

Basic Services Provided 

• Weekly Nursing Assessments
• Daily Vitals
• Medication Assistance
• Daily Wound Care
• Intensive Case management
• Transportation to & from various appointments
• Life Skills
• Resume Building
• Access to computers/Internet

HOPE OF THE VALLEY RESCUE MISSION COLD WEATHER SHELTERS - THROUGH MARCH 15 2015 - GLENDALE? PACOIMA LOCATION

http://www.hopeofthevalley.org/about-us/location/
UPDATE:  The mission is running a cold weather shelter for the 2015-2016 season which is located in Pacoima.  Please go to our recent  October - Nov 2015 posts for a link to ALL SHELTERS operating that are being publically financed.  Smaller shelters and YEAR ROUND SHELTERS also exist.



OLD POST:

We're CONFUSED.  We know about and have blogged about HOPE OF THE VALLEY RESCUE MISSION before, the thrift store and shelter located  at  8165 San Fernando Rd.
Sun Valley, CA 91352...

818-392-0020

However we recently saw a flyer that said that this organization is operating a cold weather shelter through March 15 2015 that includes GLENDALE...but does not list an address in Glendale.  Is there a secret shelter in Glendale?

FOR BURBANK AND GLENDALE CONTACT BURBANK OUTREACH AT
818- 254-5885.

The Shelter listed on the flyer is located at
Greater Community 2nd Baptist Church
11066 Norris Avenue
PACOIMA, CA

WALK INS OK but only one small bag allowed and no shopping carts so for those who have a storage unit, vehicle, or can travel very light. 

Line up at 5:30 not before.  Open 6 PM through 7 AM.

SHOWER, HOT DINNER AND BREAKFAST, SAFE SLEEPING.

This is a Christian organization.

PANERA BREAD ASKS WHAT COUNTRY HAS ONE CHILD IN FOUR STRUGGLING WITH HUNGER

PANERA BREAD CARES

“Panera Cares® community cafes exist to feed each and every person who walks through our doors with dignity regardless of their means.”

Panera Cares community cafes are about working together, shoulder to shoulder with our customers, to confront a serious problem plaguing communities across this country. Hunger. Simply put, in these non-profit locations, we will feed anyone. We will offer a dignified dining experience in an uplifting environment – without judgment – whether or not a person can pay. Panera Cares community cafes – operated by the Panera Bread Foundation, a separate Section 501(c)(3) nonprofit entity – are meant to raise the level of awareness about food insecurity in this country, while also being a catalyst for change in our communities.

Panera Cares community cafes are designed to help address the ever-worsening epidemic of food insecurity (hunger) in the U.S.  Consider this: according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), over 17 million U.S. households are considered food insecure. Simply put, for a significant number of Americans, putting food on the table is a struggle. 16 million kids – 1 in 5 – do not have enough to eat each day and lack the means to get enough nutritious food on a regular basis.



ONE IN SIX AMERICANS LIVE IN A FOOD INSECURE HOUSEHOLD.  This video has impact!  Listen to it!

San Fernando Valley homeless shelter fills up with people -- and their pets


Six weeks after the Valley's second homeless mission opened its first emergency
shelter, the Courtyard 365 is filled each night to capacity.

Now the $1.4 million nonprofit gives 6,400 meals a month to the homeless each
day at local parks and churches. From its 22,000-square-foot Sun Valley thrift
