Shepherd’s Pantry

This agency is not affiliated with the City of Covina, and the City accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of the information or the level of service provided by the agency.  We are providing this information  at the request of the agency, as a community service.

Shepherd’s Pantry provides non-perishable food, clothing and resource counseling support services to families in times of crisis. Our walk-in facility provides a safe and comfortable environment, and our volunteers are always eager and willing to help in every way they can. Our newest program, children’s reading tutor program, started in January 2011 and the response has been wonderful. Children receive one-on-one reading tutoring from experienced tutors at no cost. We also have a licensed beautician available to provide haircuts at no cost.

In order to receive our services, you must live in one of the ten cities we serve: Azusa, Baldwin Park, Claremont, Covina, Glendora, Hacienda Heights, La Puente, La Verne, San Dimas and West Covina. We are open to the public on Wednesday & Thursday from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. First time clients must bring proof of residence address. You may contact us by phone: 626-852-7630 or email at: info@shepherdspantry.com. You can also learn more about our programs by visiting our website: www.shepherdspantry.com

Windstorm Update

The City had activated its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) during the most severe portions of the wind event.  We will continue to monitor conditions and reopen the EOC when needed. The activation of the EOC ensures that City departments and other key service providers are coordinating response efforts to mitigate the impacts of these weather conditions. Locally, strong winds have caused downed trees/debris and power outages in the community. City crews will continue to monitor these conditions and respond to incidents to clear roadways of debris.

 

The City remains committed to providing essential services and ensuring public safety. Additional resources available to the community include the City’s smart phone service request application (Covina at Your Service), Southern California Edison’s power outage status map (https://www.sce.com/outage-center/check-outage-status) and LA County Fire Department’s “Ready! Set! Go!” brochure on wildfire preparedness (https://fire.lacounty.gov/rsg/). Additionally, community members may download the smart phone application Watch Duty (https://fire.lacounty.gov/rsg/) to receive updates on local conditions.
