OUR STORY
Sharing love, hope and resources with our neighbors in need.
Our Saviour Center was established by the devoted parishioners of the Church of Our Saviour, inspired by a commitment to support their "neighbors in need" in El Monte. As a nonprofit and nonsectarian agency, we began our journey in 1985 with a humble food bank operating from a rented storefront, providing essential sustenance to the city’s most vulnerable families.
In those moments, as men, women, and children stood in line, our volunteers discovered not just their need for food, but their hopes for healthcare, childcare, and housing. Responding to these aspirations, Our Saviour Center has grown to offer at-risk low-income families a Food Pantry, Emergency Temporary Housing, and Youth Development programs.
In the heart of El Monte—where many face the difficult challenges of poverty, discrimination, and violence—we stand together with our community. We understand the struggles that our neighbors encounter, and since 1985, we have dedicated ourselves to serving with compassion and support. Together, we are committed to adapting to the changing needs of those around us, ensuring that no one feels alone in their journey.
