FOOD DISTRIBUTION AND A COMMITMENT TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE TOTAL PERSON
-
HEART OF COMPASSION DISTRIBUTION FUNCTIONS PRIMARILY AS A FOOD DISTRIBUTION CENTER. THE ORGANIZATION COLLECTED, PACKAGED, AND DISTRIBUTED OVER 13.5 MILLION POUNDS OF FOOD AND OVER 550,000 POUNDS OF PERSONAL GOODS TO PEOPLE IN NEED IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES THROUGH A NETWORK OF 85 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING PARTNERSHIPS AND PROGRAMS. WEEKLY EVENTS WERE HELD ON SITE AND THROUGHOUT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

HEART OF COMPASSION DISTRIBUTION OPERATES A MENS REHABILITATION AND RECOVERY HOME. MEN WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HARD TIMES, COMING OUT OF GANGS, DRUGS, PRISON OR OTHER DIFFICULTIES HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TURN THEIR LIVES AROUND AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE COMMUNITY BY VOLUNTARILY ENROLLING IN A ONE-YEAR PROGRAM THAT OFFERS DRUG AND ALCOHOL REHABILITATION AND JOB AND LIFE SKILLS TRAINING. ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE REQUIRED TO UNDERGO ANGER MANAGEMENT CLASSES AND DRUG COUNSELING TO MINIMIZE THE CHANCE OF RECIDIVISM. MEN ARE REQUIRED TO PUT IN 40-45 HOURS PER WEEK OF COMMUNITY SERVICE AT OUR DISTRIBUTION WAREHOUSE AS PART OF THE PROGRAM. OUR MEN RECEIVE WAREHOUSE LOGISTICS TRAINING, INCLUDING HOW TO USE FORKLIFTS, PALLET JACKS, LOADING AND UNLOADING TRUCKS, AND POTENTIALLY BOBTAIL TRUCK DRIVING TRAINING. THE PROGRAM ENDEAVORS TO GIVE MEN THE PROPER JOB AND LIFE SKILLS NECESSARY TO SUCCEED IN SOCIETY, ALONG WITH PROVIDING COPING SKILLS TO PREVENT TRIGGERS. THE COMMUNITY SERVICE REQUIREMENT INCREASES THE SELF-ESTEEM OF THE MEN IN THE PROGRAM BY ALLOWING THEM TO HELP PROVIDE FOOD AND OTHER ESSENTIAL GOODS TO LOW-INCOME FAMILIES. SEEING THE POSITIVE EFFECT OF THEIR WORK AND WHAT IT DOES FOR LOCAL FAMILIES BUILDS THE MENS CONFIDENCE AND SENSE OF WORTH. ON AVERAGE, THERE ARE ABOUT SEVEN MEN ENROLLED IN THE MENS HOME AT ANY GIVEN TIME. WE HAVE HAD MANY SUCCESS STORIES IN THE MENS HOME: FOUR MEN BECAME MINISTERS; THREE MEN BECAME WAREHOUSE MANAGERS; TWO MEN WERE PROMOTED TO DIRECTORS AT THE MENS HOME; ONE MAN BECAME A VOLUNTEER NIGHT WATCHMAN FOR THE WAREHOUSE PROPERTY FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS; AND MULTIPLE MEN WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN GOOD, STEADY JOBS AFTER LEAVING THE PROGRAM. SOME OF THE MEN STILL RETURN TO HEART OF COMPASSION DISTRIBUTION TO HELP VOLUNTEER FOR SPECIAL EVENTS.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
