Dear Lanterman Community,
As we close out the month of October, many families across California and within our own community are stepping into challenging times. With delays in SNAP program benefits, beginning November 1, 2025, some may experience increased food insecurity. These challenges can feel especially difficult as we approach the holiday season.
Please know that we understand how overwhelming this may feel, and we want you to know that we’re here to help. In keeping with our commitment to the well-being of all those we support, our dedicated staff of the Koch-Young Resource Center have compiled a list of organizations, community sites and food banks that may be of assistance.
View the list of food resources (as of 10.30.25)
This list is not exhaustive, and we will continue to share additional resources as we become aware of them.
In addition, if you are a client of Lanterman Regional Center, or have a loved one who receives support from us, and are facing immediate food insecurity or need additional assistance, please contact your service coordinator for further assistance.
Together, we will continue to face and overcome these challenging times with compassion, unity and care of one another.
Warm regards,
Srbui Ovsepyan
Executive Director
