James Storehouse is a nonprofit based in Newbury Park that has been quietly transforming lives across Ventura and Los Angeles counties.

Their mission is to support children and youth impacted by the foster care system by providing critical resources from cribs to college. Whether it’s a newborn just placed with a foster family, a teenager aging out of care, or a family in crisis, James Storehouse steps in with dignity, compassion, and practical support.

They serve an average of 1,600 children and families every month—a staggering number that highlights both the need and the heart behind their work.

In 2023 alone, they helped over 19,000 individuals, thanks to the support of volunteers, donors, and community organizations.

​

Their services include:

• Essential Resources: Clothing, hygiene items, bedding, kitchenware, school supplies, groceries, and baby gear are distributed to families in need—often within hours of a request.

• Youth and Family Programs: James Storehouse offers mentorship opportunities, life skills workshops, transitional housing support, and mental health services for foster youth transitioning to independence.

• Seasonal and Special Events: Through initiatives like the Back-to-School Bash, Holiday Giving, Easter Basket Drives, and Baby Showers, James Storehouse brings joy and normalcy to children who often go without.
