ELF Pantry
The Education & Leadership Foundation is privileged and honored to provide support to those individuals who may be struggling to put food on the table for their families. In collaboration with Central California Food Bank we provide a bag of non-perishable food items to families, students and clients that come our way. One bag of food is good for a family of 4-6 individuals. (Items vary each month)

The ELF Pantry is sponsored by the Bertha and John Garabedian Charitable Foundation.
We are thankful for the annual donation from the Bertha and John Garabedian Charitable Foundation. All funds go directly to our pantry to assist our families. In 2020, responding to the COVID-19 crisis, ELF distributed approximatley 800 boxes of food per month. We could not serve these individuals without the support of the Bertha and John Garabedian Charitable Foundation.
