How Can You Help?

Analysts estimate that 1 in every 8 people in Los Angeles faces issues of hunger every day. With a struggling economy, people throughout the area face issues with food, unemployment, medical care, legal matters, and financial need. They also seek assistance with family issues. St. John the Baptist is working hard to meet this increasing demand in Baldwin Park and the region.
