Awesome place, awesome people. I been myself started a non profit where I been giving out food to…read morethe homeless and offering supplies out of pocket along with my son since February this year. When I found out about this place through a lady who saw me passing out sandwiches, I couldn't help but extend a hand. So I called and spoke with Luis to see how I could be of assistance and find out about receiving food myself to pass out and this guy and Ms. Ludo were very informative. So me and my son got a rental, headed to the food pantry, and loaded the car up for a trip to the high desert! For those interested in helping this place will guide you every step of the way to make sure you got everything needed. From how to online guides, waiver forums, etc. They even have it mobile app friendly! Just make sure to start early if you're doing deliveries to people's houses so you can see where you're going and to beat the heat. Great bonding and learning experience for me and my son but not only that just a blessing there's a company likes this available to offer such services.

My sister and I usually volunteer the afternoon shift which Iasts for 3 hours, when we have free time. They always need volunteers as they are constantly receiving donations from everywhere (locally) and items/food need to be sorted, boxed, etc. They have a very organized system and the employees are extremely friendly and professional.

I take advantage of the wonderful opportunity to volunteer every year. Earlier this year in 2025, Feeding America created a new way to support our communities. They have opened up a Fresh Start Pantry nearby their warehouse. This location serves clients who qualify to receive a selection of dry and frozen foods plus produce. Volunteers are needed to assist the clients in selecting nutritious food and ensuring a smooth shopping experience. Each shift has a max capacity of 2 volunteers. I recently signed up online to be a volunteer. It was easy to find this place. It is located in a business park. Upon arrival, the staff at the lobby to pantry to stock room were super friendly and nice. The pantry was bright and clean. It is small, but comfortable for 1 to 2 clients to shop at a time. I learned about the process. I got to organize and restock shelves to keep their pantry running efficiently. So much fun to volunteer in support of a great cause! Thank you Jackie (intern), Nelly (staff), Christina (staff), Erika (staff), and Jonathan (volunteer) for the warm welcome and showing me the ropes. I appreciate the volunteer opportunity. I look forward to volunteering more at the Fresh Start Pantry in the future. Thanks again!

In such a dark and uncertain time for my wife and I, while our son was in the NICU, the Inland…read moreEmpire Ronald McDonald House was the first beacon of light we experienced outside the hospital. We got to stay there for free, which was incredible due to being right across the street from our son in the NICU. The staff there were kind and very empathetic to our situation, and we got to meet other parents/families who were going through similar struggles. It's a place most people don't know fully about, but when you or someone you know has a child in the NICU, it's amazing that there is this place called the Inland Empire Ronald McDonald House; a place to call home away from home.

They would approach us in the kitchen while we were cooking. Ahhh, my heart. I felt very touched. Penny was kind enough to give my group a tour. They don't advertise their volunteer events so highly recommend checking it out if you're looking for a team bonding or volunteer outing event. They need more volunteers to help with making breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They accept item and monetary donations too. Every donation helps this location non-profit. We will be back for the holidays! Thank you IE Ronald McDonald House!

She has poured her life, blood sweat and tears onto helping others. She is known to ignore her own needs in order to help others with whatever they're needing. From food, clothing, shoes, blankets, assistance in obtaining a job, a place to live, toys, appliances and so much more. She puts in hours of work giving of herself without blinking and eye. Her heart is filled with helping others in her community and it fills her with joy doing so. She's amazingly contributing selflessy and I want to personally commend her efforts for doing all this for others.

For the first time in my life I have been fighting homelessness for about a year and a half now,…read moreI've tried so many agencies who claim to help in a crisis. Non have been able to provide any services, it's always some reason I don't qualify. What has the world come to where you need so much more than being homeless to qualify for services. I have exhausted so much money paying for hotels. The last hotel my family and I resided in the staff put us in a hotel room with a broken window because of their negligence my autistic son fell 4 story's and because so we are now fighting a CFS case for the past few months. My husband and I came to this organization looking to be able to save up for just a month while I continue school. Their reasoning for not helping us was because I had no connection with surrounding areas hello I'm homeless I have no connection with any area ‍ weird. They also said I couldn't go to school I have to be working which is also weird considering my husband already works, by going to school I'm working towards something more permanent for my family. Neither one of us does any type of drugs or drink, we are just a family who have been experiencing hard times that won't give up. We only needed 30 days to save up some money before our court date, finding a house is the last thing we need to complete before we can get the kids back and we were hoping to stay here for a month so we can save enough to cover move in cost when we find our next home.
