Limousines and lights, gawkers and stars all fill the streets of Hollywood on the night of the Academy Awards. But while Oscar is getting his close-up, a family down the street is struggling to survive.

Kim, a trained volunteer from a small local church called The Hollywood Church, has been visiting Erica and her family for several months. Every other week, Kim brings one of CHF’s Food Pak® boxes to Erica’s door to help feed the family and to nurture their growing relationship.
Erica, her husband Luis, and their three children live in a studio apartment. He is a construction worker and hasn’t had steady work for many months. He has had to take day labor jobs in order to feed his family. Erica uses her skills as well to bring in money by making and selling tamales for family and church events. However, the money never seems to be enough.
