12th Holiday Hope Giveaway in Inglewood, California, Set for November 14: Over 800 Families to Receive Food and Gifts at Faithful Central Bible Church
Inglewood, California, will host the 12th Holiday Hope community giveaway on Saturday, November 14. The Magic Johnson Foundation and Feed the Children, in an announcement dated November 9 and updated November 13, said the drive-through event at the Faithful Central Bible Church campus will welcome over 800 Inglewood and Los Angeles families.
Participating families will receive a 25-pound box of shelf-stable food and a 15-pound box of personal care items. Additional items to be distributed include turkeys, shelf-stable protein products, fresh produce from Melissa's Produce and Sprouts Farmers Market, canned vegetables, beans, soup, pasta, protein shakes, water, eyewear, toys and coats, provided by a range of corporate partners.
Earvin Johnson said the holidays are about gathering with family and loved ones without having to worry about the next meal, adding that the Los Angeles community has meant so much to him over the past four decades and that it is a privilege to serve families when they need it most. Emily Callahan, president and CEO of Feed the Children, said the organization has stood alongside Earvin and Cookie Johnson and their foundation for 12 years to bring food, essentials and holiday joy to families in Inglewood and Los Angeles.
Shane Jenkins, president of the Magic Johnson Foundation, said the holidays are an opportunity to remind families that they are seen, valued and supported, and that Holiday Hope reflects the foundation's continued commitment to the communities it serves.
The Johnsons have served underserved youth and communities since 1991 and hosted their first Holiday Hope event in Detroit in 2014. Since its inception, the event has served 22,800 families. This year's event is supported by corporate partners including Bank of America and StarKist, along with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Los Angeles Football Club and the Los Angeles Lakers, and cheerleaders from the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Sparks mascot will also be on site.
