What we can do for LTSC now　

We provide food

The pantry is one of the abundant services provided by LTSC and supports customers’ meals. Many open food depots do not provide meals tailored to LTSC members, especially the elderly of Asian descent. We provide food not only to the elderly, but also to lower-income households such as Latinos, Japanese, Koreans, and Asia-Pacific islanders. LTSC’s food depot meets the needs of the community by stocking sanitary goods, rice, dried noodles, beans, seaweed, soy sauce, sesame oil, tea, snacks and other non-perishable and easy-to-cook foods of any ethnicity.

LTSC is looking for volunteers to deliver food and supplies to the elderly in the area. Those who are between the ages of 18 and 65 and have no symptoms of illness.

Sign up to Volunteer!

Please continue to donate to the food storage. Provide groceries to those in need and support each other in the community.
