The Outreach Program of California: Empowering Communities
The Outreach Program of California - Supporting Your Neighbors
"Throughout every city in this country, families are struggling to provide the most basic of resources on a consistent basis. In California, 1 in 5 people are living close to the poverty line or are one life event away from a financial crisis. And while the problem is heavy, and we’re reminded daily of the divisiveness in the country; bringing small groups of people together around a social issue is one of the reasons I love the work I do.”
-Chris Romero, Regional Manager, The Outreach Program of California

In 2004, Floyd and Kathy were volunteering in the drought-stricken village of Nkungi, Tanzania, where children were starving. When Kathy saw the fifth child die of hunger, she cried to Floyd, “We have to do something, we can’t allow these children to die like this”. They bartered maize for baskets. They met with local village leaders and elders and asked for a prioritized list of what they needed to make their villages sustainable. Their answers were the most critical elements of life which became the focus of The Outreach Program: safe water, food, medical care, and education. Since then, they have distributed over 890 million meals worldwide, built the Gunda secondary school, built two children’s centers that feed over 1200 kids each school day, implemented clean water systems, and created a Porta-Doc to provide medical care to rural Tanzanian villages

Host A Meal Packaging Event
Are you looking for a way to make a real difference in the world? Look no further than The Outreach Program!
Our innovative approach to fighting hunger is simple yet effective: we organize food packaging events all across the country where hundreds to thousands of volunteers come together to package nutritious meals for those in need. And the best part? Our assembly-line style process ensures that everything is done quickly and efficiently while still adhering to strict health and food safety guidelines.
So what are you waiting for? Join us in the fight against hunger today!
Help Provide Access to Safe Water
Water is essential for life, but access to clean drinking water is still a challenge for many people around the world. In fact, in 2020, 25 of the global population lacked access to clean water, with half of these individuals residing in Africa.
The Outreach Program recognizes the importance of water and has developed the Water Point System to provide communities in need with access to safe drinking water. This solar-powered system utilizes a filtration system and a powerful LED light to kill harmful viruses and bacteria, resulting in potable water for the community. With the Water Point System, the Outreach Program is fulfilling one of its Four Promises to improve the quality of life for those in need
Get Involved with Outreach Educational Children Centers
At the Outreach Program, we believe that education is one of the most powerful tools for uplifting communities. That’s why we’re proud to announce that we’ve built a school and two children’s centers in Tanzania, serving nearly 2,200 children every day!
Not only have we made a huge impact on these children’s lives, but we’ve also created twenty jobs for local Tanzanians to support their families. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality education, and we’re committed to making this a reality in Tanzania and beyond.
Join us in our mission to uplift communities through education – together, we can make a difference!
