Rev. Singleton added, "The mis- sion of Loveland's Jubilee Pantry is to reduce hunger by feeding the homeless, the elderly, and those who otherwise would go without meals. This is a ministry of love, as Christ commanded, so these meals are provided at no cost."

Loveland's Jubilee Pantry is lo- cated at 790 E. Foothill Blvd., Ste. A, Rialto. It has provided essential food assistance to those in need since 1980.

Jubilee Pantry Director Dr. Nita Alexander said, "I started volun- teering for the Jubilee Pantry in 2004. I've been the director since 2014. I love this mission to serve God's people in need."

The Jubilee Pantry receives do- nations from many wonderful or- ganizations, including Feeding America, the Food Bank Com- munity Action Partnership of San Bernardino County, Grocery Out- let, Stater Bros. Markets, Super Walmart, Cardinas Markets, and FONTANA, CA. Joe Baca Jr., San Bernardino County Fifth Dis- trict Supervisor, names Loveland Church's Jubilee Pantry, one of the top five 2025 Nonprofits of the Year, for providing food to more than 2,000 San Bernardino County families every month.

The 2025 Nonprofit of the Year recognition highlights organiza- tions in the Fifth District that go above and beyond to serve our community through compassion, innovation, and impactful programs.

"This was our first year recogniz- ing a 2025 Nonprofit of the Year, and the response from our commu- nity was incredible," said Supervi- sor Joe Baca Jr. "Because of the volume of submissions, we wanted to recognize a Fab 5, nonprofits that are truly doing God's work. Loveland's Jubilee Pantry stood out for its commitment to feeding those in need and serving our com- munity with compassion, dignity, and love."

"Our work is always for the peo- ple in the name of God. We see the smiles and feel the hugs of the hun gry and homeless. Still, we know the work we do would be nearly impossible without the amazing help of Supervisor Joe Baca Jr. We are greatly honored by the Coun- ty's recognition," said Chuck Sin- gleton, Senior Pastor of Loveland Church.

Eugene Weems, candidate for California's 33rd Congressional District, is calling on the media and public to attend a major press con- ference where he says he will ex- pose corruption, political intimida- tion, and "pay-to-play politics" he personally encountered while at- tempting to work alongside elected officials in San Bernardino County. Weems, a former world champion kickboxer, entrepreneur, bestsell- ing author, and CEO of Vibrant Green for Vibrant Peace (VG4VP), has officially launched his con- gressional campaign on a platform. centered around truth, transpar- ency, accountability, and restoring trust between government and the people.

Describing himself as an "Prag- matic Republican: Principled. Not a Politician." and "a true voice for forgotten communities," Weems says voters are tired of establish- ment politics and leaders who pri- oritize political connections over real people.

"This campaign is not about polit- ical games," said Weems. "This is about exposing corruption, stand- ing up against intimidation, and giving the people of California's 33rd District a representative who cannot be bought, controlled, or si- lenced."

Weems says he plans to publicly discuss what he describes as first- hand experiences involving politi- cal pressure, attempted extortion, and barriers faced while trying to advocate for underserved commu- nities.

"I've seen what happens behind closed doors," Weems stated. "When I tried to partner with cer- tain political figures to help people in need, I encountered pay-to-play politics. That is not how I operate. I believe in action, transparency, and serving the people first-not pro- tecting political insiders."
