Additionally, H.E.L.P., Inc. provides weekly food bags to those homeless who are registered. The nonprofit also operates a thrift store with beautiful gently used clothing and small household items. Clothing items that do not make it onto the floor for selling go to the area designated as the "free closet" and are offered to the clients... The H.E.L.P., Inc. Food Pantry was originally founded in 1981 by Father John Domas who saw the need to assist low income individuals and families residing in the San Gorgonio Pass area. From a small drop-in center in Beaumont, H.E.L.P., Inc. enlarged its services by purchasing the current building in Banning to include a food pantry..
