La Puente is our community's response to address the effects of poverty by providing a safety net of services, where individuals and families get what they need to stabilize, heal, strengthen, and ultimately thrive. La Puente Home endeavors to meet immediate needs and to empower people to live independently and with dignity.
Annually over 12,000 individuals and family members receive at least
one of our services, including emergency shelter, nutritious food from one of our 15 pantries, housing with support services, social-emotional learning based youth services, educational gardens, crisis prevention resources, soup kitchen meals, home outreach visits, and more. With the objective of meeting the needs of the homeless and community members in crisis, La Puente’s services both restore and strengthen people’s lives, so that they can live independently, with dignity.
