“New Friends Homeless Center means hope. When I come here, I’m encouraged. They let you know that you’re not alone. They care about you and they care about your needs too.”

“Volunteering at New Friends has changed my life. It’s a great way to give back to the community and to deposit hope to those in need through serving, being compassionate, showing respect.”

— Volunteer, Ann at Encino location

“We’re living on food stamps. These meals are the best meals we get all week. It gets me away from the stress of everything that I am going through and I love all the people here...I’m getting all emotional talking about it. I can’t thank New Friends enough for all they do.”

— Guest, Kelly Ozane shares how New Friends has changed her life

“I’ve been living in my car for years and was losing hope. New Friends has helped me stay encouraged and to keep pressing on. I am now off the streets and have a place to live. I now have work. I couldn’t have done it without New Friends. Pastor April is a blessing.”

— Guest at Encino location, Sunday
