In celebration of 37 years of National Youth Service Month, the longest-running annual youth participation event in the world, in collaboration with AMERICA250 Food Trucks and JustServe, youth all around the country came together in service for their communities.

Hundreds of youth and community leaders from across Los Angeles came together for a powerful interfaith day of service on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at Iglesia Poder De Dios to combat the rising issue of food insecurity.

A full semitruck of food was delivered to Iglesia Poder de Dios, where JustServe volunteers prepared and distributed hundreds of food boxes.

“I loved seeing their smiles and dedication as they served,” said Shanna Nussbaum, a local communications director of the Church. “In LA right now, one in three families is food insecure, so this service is truly a powerful gift and will feed over 500 families.”

She continued, “While it was hard work, seeing young people smile and being touched by the Spirit and uniting within diversity is heartwarming and miraculous. The humanitarian efforts of the Church truly change lives as we strive to live the important commandments: to love God and to love our neighbor.”
