Mission Statement

Let’s Fight Hunger and Feed Hope! Founded in 2003 by Eric Tietze, Heart of Compassion (HOC) Distribution is a 501(c)(3) food bank and social service organization. HOC works to alleviate hunger, food insecurities, and the suffering of those who have fallen on hard times. Our mission is to be a lighthouse of volunteers fighting poverty and restoring hope. Our vision is to empower residents in all communities living in poverty to achieve self-sufficiency. We achieve our mission in collecting, packaging, and distributing food to low-income communities through a network of service agencies and programs. Heart of Compassion not only distributes food to families in need, but also serves as a hub to provide transitional housing, occupational training, and vocational rehabilitation. In addition, we partner with other non-profits, local officials, and community supporters. For more information check-out our website: www.heartofcompassionca.org

About This Cause

Heart of Compassion provides many services as part of its mission to fight poverty. We distribute to 100 organizations such as food banks, shelters, city and school programs throughout the Southern California area. We currently impact more than 8,000 people monthly, including veterans, seniors, single parents, and families in need. We do this by providing fresh fruits, vegetables and other nutritional foods, and furniture and clothing (when available) to the less fortunate. In 2023, HOC provided more than 13,100,000 lbs of food and 310,000 lbs of merchandise to those in need. We offer various classes: Forklift Certification classes CPR classes Family Living classes Parenting classes Financial classes Anger Management classes Warehouse Management classes Nutrition Classes Food Handling classes And, without the dedication of our devoted volunteers, most of our efforts on behalf of the needy could never have happened. We could never repay the hundreds of volunteers required to fulfill our mission. Their gift of time and energy continues to be a major blessing to many.
