About A Change Is Here
We are based in the Antelope Valley, California and our purpose is to do our part to feed those in need. We take pride in what we do and we desire to do more.
Whether we are feeding the hungry, helping to secure living arrangement for the un-homed, or working on behalf of a community member to elevate them, we take our role and service to our community seriously.
Prayer changes everything and we are proud that we are inspired by our faith. We gladly share in the blessings that allow us to service the community.
Our Mission
A Change Is Here is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing compassionate support to individuals who are poor, distressed, underprivileged, or have fallen through the cracks of society due to drugs, economic setbacks, or life‑challenging events. We strive to restore self‑esteem and dignity by offering respectful, personalized assistance, including healthy hot meals, clothing from charitable contributions, and access to safe shelter for those who are displaced.
Our Vision
A History Of Community Service
We are passionate about the work we do and dedicated to helping as many lives as we can. After over 20 years of service from Los Angeles to Lancaster we have a proven track record for enriching the lives of those we serve.
We cordially invite you to help us make a difference in the lives of many more who are in need. This is in direct response to the climbing number of homeless and hungry that is happening as a result of so many challenges that we all face in today’s world.
Our Neighbors In Need
In Palmdale, Lancaster, and the surrounding Antelope Valley, more than 6,600 of our neighbors are homeless on any given night, and over 80% of them are unsheltered – living in tents, cars, and RVs in a desert that regularly reaches 100–110°F in the summer and freezes in winter. Many have no reliable access to food or even drinking water.
The Antelope Valley now has one of the fastest‑growing homeless populations in L.A. County, rising over 40% in a single year, with almost half of those affected being women and a growing number of families with children. At the same time, thousands of housed residents are “one paycheck away,” skipping meals so they can pay rent, gas, and utilities.
Our program is a simple, direct response: we provide consistent, dignified meals and basic essentials to people who are hungry—whether they’re in shelters, encampments near the train tracks, or RVs parked deep in the desert.
We are seeking sponsors who will stand with us to ensure that no one in Palmdale or Lancaster goes without a meal. With your support, we can expand our reach, increase the number of meals we provide, and bring stability and hope to some of the most vulnerable people in our community.
