Inland Valley Hope Partners

What Inland Valley Hope Partners does

Inland Valley Hope Partners is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 95-2674837) founded in 1968 and headquartered in Pomona, California. It provides food security, housing assistance, and healthy living programs to approximately 75,000 very low and low-income residents annually across 13 communities in west San Bernardino County and east Los Angeles County, including Pomona, Ontario, Claremont, Upland, Chino, San Dimas, Rancho Cucamonga, and Diamond Bar.

The organization operates through three core program areas: Food Security (delivering over 900,000 emergency meals annually through food banks and pantries in six cities), Housing Programs (providing 16,000+ nights of shelter and housing assistance annually via Our House Family Shelter, Rapid Rehousing, and Emergency Rental/Mortgage Assistance that helps roughly 130 households per year), and Healthy Living Programs (including the Gleaning Hope volunteer produce-gleaning program, which has collected over 30,000 pounds of produce since 2011, and the year-round Pomona Valley Certified Farmers Market). The farmers market uniquely accepts CalFresh, WIC, and Senior WIC federal nutrition benefits and offers a Market Match program providing $5 extra for every $10 spent, a capability not available within 15 miles.

The organization's business model relies on donations from individuals, businesses, faith communities, and community groups, supplemented by annual fundraising events including the 53rd Annual Walk for the Hungry and Homeless and 29th Annual Golf Classic. All services are provided free of charge to eligible residents, and all donations are tax-deductible. Operations are delivered by a small staff of 1-10 employees, leveraging extensive volunteer engagement and partnerships (including Hunger Action LA for the Market Match program and Claremont Colleges Services for event hosting) to maintain a low fixed-cost service model.
