Spotlight & Story

Glendale Community Services Food Pantry Founded in 1989 by a group of local volunteers responding to the recession, the pantry has quietly served thousands of families while staying rooted in the neighborhood. Today it operates entirely on donations and volunteer labor—and this week's expanded hours reflect growing need, not just growing capacity. If you've got a Saturday morning free, they're always looking for extra hands.
