Interfaith Food Center - meeting the needs of our hungry and homeless neighbors in Whittier, La Mirada and Santa Fe Springs

Interfaith Food Center (IFC) is a non-faith-based, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing nutritious food to our neighbors experiencing food insecurity in Whittier, La Mirada, and Santa Fe Springs. We believe everyone deserves access to healthy food and to be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect.

IFC was founded in 1983 when a group of local churches and synagogues recognized a growing need among seniors in the Whittier and La Mirada communities who were struggling to afford basic necessities. Rising inflation and limited fixed incomes left many without reliable access to nutritious food. In response, these compassionate community members came together to create Interfaith Food Center, beginning with a simple mission and serving just 30 local families. Today, IFC is the largest Food Pantry in Los Angeles County.
