Under the direction of the Good Shepherd Catholic Parish Pastor and the Parish Administrator, the Bethlehem Center continues to serve as a vital part of the Catholic Church’s mission in Visalia. Through the dedication of our small team of paid staff, volunteers, and community partners, we provide essential resources to those in need.

​

In 2024 alone, the Bethlehem Center served an average of 9,000 meals per month, totaling over 108,000 meals throughout the year. Our food pantry distributed 2,400 boxes each month, reaching over 10,000 individuals in need. By the end of the year, we provided 28,800 pantry boxes, ensuring families facing hardship had access to essential food resources.

​

Without the dedication of our team and the generous corporate and personal support from the community, we would not be able to carry out the mission of the Bethlehem Center. Thank you for your continued support in making a difference in the lives of so many.
