Local Outreach

We are excited to have purchased a parcel of property in May 2021 that contains three (3) adjoining addresses (260 E. 2d St; 290 E. 2d St. & 269 S. Gibbs St.) located in the historic downtown district of Pomona, CA. We are currently working with an architect, a design professional, and contractors as we prepare to enter into the construction phase. The plan for 290 E. 2d St. is to operate a food market to help address the food desert issues in Pomona. We plan to partner with local farmers to provide nutritional food and organic fruits and vegetables. Within the market we will operate a gelato, coffee, and sandwich shop. This branch of the ministry will also contain a teaching kitchen to hold classes for the community and to provide catering services.  In the 260 E. 2d St. address, LHF will operate the Pomona Learning Loft: Tutoring and Mentoring Center (“PLL”).  PLL will provide tutoring and mentoring services to the students who are enrolled in the Pomona Unified School District (PUSD). PLL will also provide training and skills for the high school students. Additionally, PLL plans to build strong community partnerships, and business advisory services to support local minority and women residents to help them launch businesses. The goal is to support and expedite business growth, graduate the entrepreneurs so that they can sustain their businesses on their own and create jobs within the community. Lastly, the 269 S. Gibbs building will be used for counseling services in addition. We will provide more details as the plans progress. We are grateful and thankful to operate out of Pomona in the near future.
