We help people through intervention & advocacy.
The Well in the Desert is a 501c3 non-profit organization that provides nutritious hot meals five days a week.
We offer emergency food assistance, weekly supplemental food distribution, and a wide array of services through advocacy to those affected by poverty, including the working poor, the homeless, seniors, veterans, the handicapped, and others in the western end of the Coachella Valley.
We fuel programs for poverty prevention, direct services for poverty intervention, and execute an organized effort to advocate for the poor.
Financial donations are what keep “food on the table.” We exist because of individual donors like yourself. No donation is too small, nor too big. Our yearly budget of $450,000.00 provides food and services to thousands of people. Churches, individuals and Foundations are what make it possible for us to do our job of helping others.
