Tell your visitors about the missiDharma Food & Care Foundation (DFCF) is a California-based, U.S.–registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to addressing food insecurity, homelessness, and educational inequity across local communities. Founded with a service-first approach, DFCF focuses on meeting immediate needs while fostering long-term stability through compassion, dignity, and community support.
We partner with local shelters, schools, and community organizations to prepare and serve nutritious meals, including regular breakfast and dinner services for individuals experiencing homelessness. In addition, we distribute essential items such as warm blankets, backpacks with seasonal emergency supplies, hygiene kits, and school-related materials to support health, safety, learning, and overall well-being throughout the year.
Our educational initiatives include providing learning supplies, tutoring support, mentorship, and access to educational resources for children, youth, and adults from underserved backgrounds, helping them build skills and opportunities for a more stable future.
We serve people of all backgrounds with respect and without discrimination, guided by the principle of selfless service.
Our foundation is grassroots and volunteer-driven, supported by a growing network of dedicated volunteers and professionals. Every dollar donated directly supports our food, care, and education programs, ensuring maximum impact within the communities we serve.
