Our new Street Outreach Workers have started using the brand new laptop donated by long-time Friends In Deed supporter, Gary Wong. Thanks Gary!! #friendsindeed #fid_pasadena #friendsindeedpas #fidpasadena #pasadenaca #solvinghomelessness #streetoutreach #doingtogetherwhatwecannotdoalone

A few weeks ago, we picked up close to 1,000 pounds of pet food from the Pasadena Humane Society! This is an incredible donation and we are so grateful

When we say we are *doing together what we cannot do alone, our community partnerships are a great example of that work. Pictured here is Clare, from Health Net of California. Over the years, different organizations will come and set up tables offering services, sharing flyers with information on what they can offer to our clients. We are grateful for our many partners that are doing amazing work! #friendsindeed #fid_pasadena #friendsindeedpas #fidpasadena #pasadenaca #doingtogetherwhatwecannotdoalone #foodpantry

We are so grateful to Assistance League of La Cañada for their donation of a brand new desktop for The Women's Room! They even bought flash drives so guests can save any of their personal data to take with them. Thank you, Mary, for reaching out and making this possible! #friendsindeed #fid_pasadena #friendsindeedpas #fidpasadena #pasadenaca #thewomensroom #doingtogetherwhatwecannotdoalone

Regardless of the weather, our teams will be at the church on Thursdays and Sundays with winter supplies, clothing and support. Thanks to William Shelby and Lindsey Reed for their leadership and organization. #bws #weservepasadena #fid #friendsindeedpas

Big shout out to President Nancy Carleton and the Sisterhood of Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center for bringing yummy Panda Express lunch today for TWR. Thank you!! #thewomensroom #weservepasadena #wefeedpasadena #pandaexpress #friendsindeedpas #fidpasadena #whatsforlunch #pasadenaca

This is a very positive development! Let’s hope it can be expedited into action and help our most vulnerable neighbors as soon as possible. Bravo to the Human Services Commission for being leaders.

We are grateful for the support of Leon, Ariel, their mom, Krista, and all their friends and family. Leon first started volunteering with FID as an 8th grader and continues to help as he enters the final half of his senior year. Ariel, his sister, has decided to celebrate her birthday by supporting FID and our programs. Thank you very much.

The holidays may be over, but our friends over at FBC Pasadena are still have their Advent album available for purchase. All of the proceeds from the sale of the album will benefit Friends In Deed and our programs. The album was made by the FBC community together, spread out in homes and garages and studio sessions. If you would like to purchase a copy and have it for next Christmas, please visit www.fbcpasadena.com/theadventalbum We are grateful for the support that FBC Pasadena gives us throughout the year.

Blessings to all!!

Super busy week in the Food Pantry this week. And we thought we would introduce you to some of our newer volunteers who helped make the week a huge success - Pat, Cynthia, Ashley, Ingrid, and Rebecca. Thank you coming and being a part of the Food Pantry team. 424 households came by for food this week. And believe it or not, that isn’t a record. Close though. #foodpantry #volunteers #volunteersrock #friendsindeedpas #fidpasadena #wefeedpasadena #workingtogether #doingtogetherwhatwecannotdoalone #pasadenaca #fightinghunger #endhunger

Thanks to Gerry Poulin, one of steadfast and long serving volunteers, who takes his own van and trailer to pick up food at the #LARegionalFoodBank twice each month. This is in addition to many other ways he gives to FID. You are awesome!

Some good news here in Pasadena for the future of housing low income and formerly homeless seniors.

It was great to have some time for art in TWR this week. Here is Ardella, one of our amazing resident artists, a long time guest. She told Marlene, ‘I’m the Picasso of The Women’s Room!’ #friendsindeedpas #fidpasadena #TWR #art #expression
