Would like more information regarding the council. Are the meetings open to the public?
thanks

Martina,
AVIC holds monthly business meetings on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 1:00 p.m. at Revealing Truth, 4539 Fern Ave, Lancaster.
The public is welcome.
Throughout the year, we hold three events to which we welcome everyone in the AV. These are Interfaith Harmony Week in February, National Day of Prayer Service on the 1st Thursday of May, and our annual Thanksgiving Service in November.
Working with Love’s Open Door Mission in Littlerock, our group has recently established a non-denominational food pantry for the low-income residents of Lake Los Angeles. Having been open for the last month, High-Desert Food Pantry has distributed food to approximately 100 families on a weekly basis.
The food we are supplied with comes at no cost. However, we are responsible for freight charges which is approximately $185 per ton. Our average shipment has been three tons, a total of $555, not including the truck rental and fuel costs.
We are asking for help on two issues. First, we would appreciate your help in getting the word out to people who need food support. We are here to help them. Second, any help that can be provided in the way of donations would be appreciated. If possible, We would like the opportunity of attending your next meeting on March 14th to discuss our organization. Thank you in advance.
Steve,
Your comment has been forwarded to Deborah Shelton.
I just discovered the information I gave above was not exactly correct. Actually, the food comes to us at a cost of $95 for 3 tons. We typically receive 12 tons of food per truck load. Our weekly food costs are detailed as follows:
Food: $380/12 tons
Freight: 185
Truck Rental: 185
Fuel: 240
TOTAL $990
Thank you in advance for your time. we would appreciate the opportunity of discussing with you how we can collectively help our neighbors in this part of the Antelope Valley.
