Southern California

Welcome to Southern California's 2025 Annual Report

Providence’s commitment to serve all, especially those who are poor and vulnerable, extends beyond the walls of our ministries. Through strong partnerships across California, we work to ensure our communities have access to the essential resources they need, such as medical care, food, shelter and more. 

In 2025, Providence invested $493.7 million in community benefit across Southern California. These investments supported initiatives making a meaningful difference, including:

• Compassionate, trauma-informed care in the High Desert for survivors of sexual assault and interpersonal violence seeking support and advocacy.  
• School-based physical activity and wellness programs supporting more than 5,300 Los Angeles County students in building lifelong healthy habits. 
• Connections to food, shelter, medical follow-up and other essential services for more than 6,000 vulnerable households in the San Fernando Valley.  
• Individualized education support for youth experiencing housing instability in Orange County. 

These efforts represent just a portion of Providence’s broader commitment to the community. I hope you will explore our 2025 annual report to learn more about how Providence is working with like-hearted partners to strengthen community health in pursuit of our vision of Health for a Better World.
